As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers 7.00 to 10.00 higher. Very good demand for this annual summertime BBQ feeder cattle special. A very large offering of yearlings, many, long strings and full loads and multiple load lots all day long. A good offering of light cattle as well in packages and part loads. The market was very active throughout the sale as optimism remains high amongst cattle producers and feeders. The CME Live and Feeder Cattle contracts posted big gains after last Friday's decline, this helped to support the market as well. Flesh condition of yearlings ran from light to moderate plus.
