As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers and heifers under 550 lbs firm to 6.00 higher, over 550 lbs steady. Slaughter cows 7.00-9.00 higher. Demand good. Supply light. The cattle market has had a strong few weeks recently with futures and fed prices working higher and choice cutout value also stronger to start the week.
