As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 2.00 higher, heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Demand for this eye appealing offering of feeder cattle was good. Several large lots of cattle this week. Most of the cattle hauled in on Sunday, and looked nice and green. CME Feeder Cattle were lower while corn took a fair jump higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
