As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, over 600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher on a light test. Feeder heifers 2.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. More new crop calves in the mix this week. Fed cattle have traded from 120.00-123.00/cwt so far this week, around 3.00-5.00/cwt higher. The arrow is pointing up on the cattle right now with the demand side of the equation rolling and plenty more upside if we can ever gain some leverage on the supply end and chip away at massive packer margins.
