As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 950 lbs - 1050 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 1100 lbs 1.00 lower, other weights not well compared. Feeder heifers sold with higher undertones, weights were not well compared. Demand for this eye appealing offering of feeder cattle was good. A couple lots of cattle weaned today and offered for sale due to grass being burnt up. Several semi load lots of steers hauled in Saturday and Sunday, green and very eye catching. Load lots of steers were in especially high demand, many were bought in lots of 4 loads or more. Overall, the feeder market continues to be very optimistic. CME Corn futures significantly lower today. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Bulls steady.
