As filed

Compared to last week, a lighter offering but market rebounded with 400-500 lbs steer calves on a light test trading mostly steady, 500-700 lb steers sold mostly 3.00-7.00 higher, with 750-850 lbs firm to 3.00 higher, and over 850 lbs selling with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-600 lbs got back all they lost week trading mostly 10.00-20.00 higher, spots 25.00 higher, and 600-700 lb heifers sold with a higher undertone on few good comparisons. Feeder market had a much better feel to it this Monday as buyers returned and aided by CME cattle futures trading sharply higher as Feeder Cattle gained from 2.67-4.42 on the front three months and May corn closed 14 1/4 cents lower and December corn down 2 3/4 cents. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm, spots 3.00-higher on the high dressing cows.
