As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 650 lbs - 750 lbs, 800 lbs - 950 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher, other weights not significantly compared. Feeder heifers 450 lbs - 550 lbs, 700 lbs - 750 lbs, 850 lbs - 900 lbs 3.00 to 6.00 higher, other weights not compared well. Demand for light cattle today was electric, light weight cattle hit $4.00. Outstanding market for light weight, weaned cattle with a vaccination program. Demand for all weights of cattle was good. Black hide is the biggest factor for bidders along with rounds of shots and flesh conditions. CME Feeder Cattle and Corn closed higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Bulls 4.00 higher.
