As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 450 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher, heavier weights steady. Feeder heifers under 650 lbs steady, over 650 lbs firm to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Another attractive feeder offering this week as lots of producers have cashed in on the recent price advance seen on the light and mid-weight cattle. There were more unweaned calves this week that also found good demand.
