As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, feeder steers 25.00-40.00 lower. Feeder heifers 15.00-30.00 lower. Slaughter cows 4.00-8.00 lower. Demand good. Supply light. The board was down the limit on Wednesday just as it was two weeks ago although the down trend in futures had not impacted auction prices much at that time. While prices have lost considerable ground from the crest a few weeks ago, buyers remain aggressive as the supply/demand setup for cattle still looks very favorable. Good quality feeder offering including several consignments of green, weaned steers weighing 425-575 lbs.
