As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Demand very good. Supply moderate. 'Nice feeder offering with some high quality weaned calves in the mix. The cattle market remains very bullish with the average fed steer price reaching 180.00/cwt last week while the latest feeder index shows an advance of 13.00/cwt over the past week.
