As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Good demand for this nice offering of home raised, long time weaned steers and heifers. Many long strings again this week offered in full loads and multiple load lots. Flesh condition ranged from light to moderate. The market was very active as the cattle futures contracts continue to rise, however there was a little pressure on the market due to the wet, muddy conditions in feedyards. A very large feeder cattle sale expected for next week, expecting 4,000 feeder cattle.
