As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 higher, except 800 lbs - 850 lbs sold with lower undertones. Feeder heifers sold with lower undertones, except 700 lbs -750 lbs and 800 lbs - 900 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Demand for this eye appealing offering of green cattle was good. Black cattle were in biggest demand creating wide price gaps. A few lots of cattle were hauled in on Saturday with most being hauled in on Sunday. Several farmer buyers in the seats today. Cattle on feed reported up 1% over August 1 of last year. CME Feeder Cattle closed lower, while corn was up. Slaughter cows and bulls sold with steady undertones.
