As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, feeder steers weighing 550-800 lbs sold 5.00-8.00 higher, with steer calves under 550 lbs selling with a steady to frim undertone on a light test. Feeder heifers had the best test on 600-750 lbs selling 4.00-8.00 higher, spots 10.00 higher with weights under 600 lbs trading with a steady to firm undertone. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold firm to 3.00 higher with several high dressing slaughter bulls out selling the slaughter steers and heifers. CME cattle futures posted a good week of active gains, with a higher fed cattle market this week gave renewed buying support to the feeder cattle market.
