As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers 1.00-5.00 higher on a limited market test. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Demand good. Supply light. Much better environment to sell feeders than last weeks sale with corn down somewhat and most feeder contracts 1.10 to 1.90 points higher. The choice cutout was also higher Tuesday continuing last weeks trend.
