As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 500 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, 500-700 lbs 2.00-5.00 lower and over 700 lbs near steady but lightly tested. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs steady to 4.00 higher, over 500 lbs steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00-4.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Supply heavy. The mid weight steers are cheaper in the area this week with continuing pressure from corn prices and concerns about possible liquidation due to drought in the north and west possible factors. Cattle handling is also more of an issue this week with the building heat and humidity.
