As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers traded 2.00 to 5.00 higher and heifers mostly 4.00 to 7.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. The beef sector is gaining some momentum with Improved slaughter numbers and higher cash fat cattle trade bringing some spark back to the feeder market. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
