As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Too few comparable sales of feeder steers and heifers to allow a good market comparison, higher undertones evident. The market was active for this offering of yearling steers and heifers, flesh condition ranged from light and green to moderate plus flesh cattle out of grow yards. Another higher day in the cattle futures complex is continuing to add support to the feeder cattle market. Cash fed cattle turned higher last week and topped at 225.00.
