As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher with advance under 600 lbs. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand good. Supply moderate. Nice feeder offering this week that included several good quality, reputation consignments. Bulk price ranges under 600 lbs would include several medium flesh unweaned calves with on or two rounds of shots. Good market despite another sell-off on the board with most feeder contracts down the 9.25 limit due to continuing unrest over potential government action to lower beef prices.
