As filed

No recent feeder specials to make good comparisons. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Buyers were active as it appeared they were trying to round up some cattle a little cheaper after watching the futures market sell-off last week. Plenty of hay around the area this year and corn prices in a free-fall should support cattle prices the rest of the year.
