As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 3.00 to 5.00 higher, with larger advances noted on lighter weight cattle, primarily due to increased quality compared to last weeks calves. Feeder steers traded mostly 1.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on feeder heifers for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00 lower. Trading activity was moderate on moderate to good buyer demand. Buyer demand improved from last week despite the volatility noted on the CME board last week, and it closing down again today.
