As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with spots 10.00-15.00 higher on the 550-625 lb weight range. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply. The market has found some support lately with fed cattle trading a few dollars higher last week and the futures market slowly recovering some of the losses seen over the last few weeks. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-5.00 lower.
