As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers firm to 4.00 higher except some steers near 775 lbs 2.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. Strong feeder offering this week with several front end consignments in the mix. There were some packages of 625-700 lb heifers that sold as replacements which we haven't seen much of yet in this current cycle.
