As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Heifers under 500 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher with all other weights of heifers unevenly steady. Large crowd of buyers on hand with good demand for longtime weaned calves. Sharply higher CME live cattle and feeder cattle futures along with sharply lower corn futures aided in the higher cattle market on Friday.
