As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cows 1..00-3.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Tight fed numbers are continuing to push cattle higher with the unprecedented feedlot leverage currently resulting in a northern dressed trade that is higher than the choice cutout. Special cow sale followed the feeders featuring several nice bred cows.
