As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 5.00 to 9.00 higher except 900-950 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 lower, heifers 8.00 to 12.00 higher except 950-1000 4.00 to 5.00 lower. This week's offering was much larger than last week, higher undertones were very evident. Demand for this large offering of clean, attractive cattle was good. Several lots with multiple loads offered for both steers and heifers. CME Feeder Cattle futures up today as well as corn. Cattle On Feed report came out today stating cattle inventory was down 1% from this time last year. The drought continues to force farmers and ranchers to make decisions to sell earlier than normal as well as downsize cow herds. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 2.00 higher.
