As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Special cow sale followed a light feeder offering highlighted by a consignment of young second period black cows. With another light placement figure to be reported this Friday and carcass weights finally working back close to year ago levels it looks like a bit of a leverage shift and some sunshine could finally be headed our way if the next calamity doesn't befall us first.
