As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher, instances of 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers 5.00 to 10.00 higher, except 700-800 lbs steady. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers after the gains in the CME Live and Feeder Cattle futures and the cash fat market topping out at 202.50. A nice offering of feeder cattle sold on an active market, the flesh condition on the home raised cattle was light to moderate, while on the heavier backgrounded cattle it ran more moderate plus. Several large consignments, offered in full loads and multiple load lots, along with numerous smaller consignments.
