As filed

Feeder steers and heifers traded 5.00-10.00 higher on limited comparisons with the previous couple of feeder auctions. A good run of both calves and yearlings with stronger prices across the board. Higher prices for slaughter cattle and the futures market lending good support to the feeder market.
