As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 1.00 to 4.00 higher, under 600lbs sold with lower undertones, over 1000 lbs sold with higher under tones. Feeder heifers 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of green cattle was good. Best demand was black hided cattle creating wide price spreads. Several loads of nice yearling cattle sold again this week and were highly sought after. With rain in the forecast later this week, farmers are busy in the field. CME Feeder Cattle were higher, while corn dropped slightly. Slaughter cows Breaker and Lean 1.00 to 2.00 higher, Boner to few to make a meaningful comparison. Slaughter bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
