As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers 600-700 lbs 4.00-12.00 higher, other weights 1.00-4.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 525 lbs 6.00-10.00 higher, over 525 lbs 2.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-5.00 lower. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Buyer friendly condition through much of the feeder offering this week with lots of light, green cattle weighing 650 lbs and down. Feeder cattle are gaining some value from lower trending corn at the moment. The fed cattle trade continues to be a struggle although placement patterns in recent months may bring an improving supply/demand situation a little later in the year.
