As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers 5.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers 450-500 lbs 3.00-6..00 higher with other weights near steady. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. Top feeder offering with several reputation consignments again this week. Buyers were more aggressive likely somewhat due to the milder weather. There was a big disparity between prices in the ring and prices on the screen as the board continues to trade the theory that a high US Dollar, high priced feed, an economy running on high priced energy and high feedlot occupancy is going to spell trouble for fed cattle over the next few months. The futures losses in cattle had lots of company on Wednesday as an 1,164 point stock market drop pulled most commodities lower.
