As filed

Compared to last week, the feeder steers and heifers under 550 lbs. sold steady to 5.00 higher. The steers over 550 lbs. sold mostly steady. The heifers over 550 lbs. sold 5.00-10.00 lower. The slaughter cows sold steady and slaughter bulls sold steady to 5.00 higher. Most of the offering was sold in small packages. Feeder cattle futures have been extremely volatile lately with the talk of new world screwworm, but they were a pleasant surprise on Thursday, closing limit up to 10.75 on the front four months. Supply was moderate with good demand.
