As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers 6.00-14.00 higher with instances 20.00 higher on heifers near 500 lbs. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand very good. Supply heavy. All the elements for a good feeder trade were in place Tuesday with good weather, good cattle in volume and aggressive buyers with orders to fill on a higher trending market. Offering included six load lots of steers weighing 690-829 lbs. The feeder index has gained nearly 8.00/cwt in the past week. Fed cattle could trade higher again this week while carcass weights continue to trend sharply lower following the recent winter storms. Wednesdays USDA cattle inventory report is predicted to show all cattle and calves down 1.8%.
