As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers steady to 2.00 higher, feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Very good demand for this large offering of yearling steers and heifers. Several long strings, including a consignment of 800 steers, with many offered in full load lots and multiple load lots. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed cattle off grass to moderate plus cattle out of backgrounding yards. With the CME Live Cattle contracts higher, and cash fed cattle sales on Friday trading higher than the midweek trades, cattle feeders weren't feeling quite as apprehensive about the direction of the fat market. Silage harvest is complete and wet corn harvest is beginning, cattle feeders are ready and want to get yearlings bought while they can, which is making for a very active market. Slaughter cows and bulls steady.
