As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder cattle 2.00-4.00 higher. Due in part to a higher slaughter cattle market this week and bullishness. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to firm especially for beef type cows that are guaranteed to be grass fed. Trade active with good demand.
