As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steers 2.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers 5.00-15.00 higher on better quality. In a light comparison, steer calves unevenly steady, while heifer calves 15.00-20.00 higher. Quality mostly attractive, with several loads of fleshy steers. Demand strong. CME Feeder Futures Boards closed 5.00 higher yesterday and 4.75 higher today bringing an end to last week's rugged slump. High winds and high temperatures will continue through Saturday before the next cold front moves in Sunday morning. Burn bans will be in effect for most of the state.
