As filed

Compared to the sale last Tuesday, feeder steers under 750 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher, few over 750 lbs near steady. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs 15.00-30.00 higher, 500-600 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher and over 600 lbs steady. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Lots of nice consignments this week with the offering dominated by fall calves weighing from 300-700 lbs depending on genetics and groceries. Most broke down into two categories of light, unweaned calves from 300-500 lbs and weaned medium to medium plus flesh program calves weighing 500-675 lbs. Cattle futures were higher again Tuesday with April lives at 252.55 making another record fed cattle trade quite possible.
