As filed

Compared to last Wednesday: No trend on the feeder cattle due to a limited number of comparison. However the feeder market appeared stronger as buyers were willing to pay premiums for good quality feeder calves with favorable body condition. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were 2.00 higher with good demand.
