As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded with a sharply higher undertone compared to the light receipts from last time. Feeder futures have once again made new all-time highs this week and the cash prices have followed right along. Each week continues to bring new eye-popping numbers with light calves now bringing per head what use to be the price for a whole finished beef. Slaughter steers and heifers steady and slaughter cows 5.00-8.00 higher.
