As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 3.00-5.00 lower following the sharp advance of two weeks ago. Heifers over 550 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 6.00-8.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Technically overbought futures were lower Wednesday although the cattle market has been on a bit of a heater over the past month with solid gains on the board and in fed cattle prices.
