As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. The demand for this large offering of green cattle was good. A fair amount of light cattle were offered today compared to weeks past. The drought has forced early weaning and sale of cattle that may have been backgrounded. A large offering of cattle over 1000 lbs sold with fair weighing conditions as most were hauled in either Saturday or Sunday. CME Feeder Cattle Futures as well as Corn lower today. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower. Bulls 4.00 to 5.00 lower.
