As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steer and heifers too lightly tested to allow a full, complete, accurate comparison. Moderate to good demand for this lighter offering of yearling steers and heifers. 1 full load of 835 lbs steers, 2 full loads of 840 lbs heifers while the balance of the offering was part loads and small packages. The flesh condition was rather attractive this week, light to moderate overall. The market was active on the loads as the quality was outstanding and flesh was light. The cash fed cattle market continues to trade a very large positive basis over the futures contracts but the weak futures are causing cattle feeders to approach the feeder cattle market cautiously. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher than last Wednesday's sale, bulls steady in a light test. Customer appreciate BBQ sale next week, expecting a big run of feeder cattle starting at 8:00 am.
