As filed

Compared to the last trended sale three weeks ago, feeder steers under 550 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, 550-700 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher with no comparisons available over 700 lbs. Feeder heifers 5.00-10.00 higher except a few under 450 lbs steady to 3.000 higher. Slaughter cows steady compared to two weeks ago. Lots of medium sized consignments this week of good quality green, weaned cattle weighing 500-675 lbs. It was a better day for cattle in the ring on Wednesday than on the board as higher corn took over 2.00/cwt off of feeder contracts and trimmed some of yesterday's gains in the live cattle as well.
