As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 4.00 to 7.00 higher. Trade was fairly active on good demand. CME cattle futures regained some lost footing this week and buyers demand picked up as well. Offering consisted of mostly heavy weight yearlings coming off of wheat. Slaughter cow and bulls sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower.
