As filed

Compared to last week, Feeder steers sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher, feeder heifers were 10.00 to 15.00 higher with some as much as 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady. Supply was light with extremely hot temperatures keeping producers from moving cattle. Demand was strong on the short supply on all classes of cattle.
