As filed

Compared to last week the feeder market was mostly stronger with a large supply of good quality cattle. Light weight feeder steers 400 lbs and under were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with good demand, however steers 500 lbs and over were mostly 2.00 to 5.00 lower with a good supply. Feeder heifers were 2.00 to 4.00 higher across the board with a large supply , and a few weights classes were 6.00 to 8.00 higher with strong demand. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 lower with a large supply and slaughter bulls were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with good demand.
