As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 5.00 higher, instances of up to 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Higher prices in the barn were supported by the CME Feeder Cattle contract, which was limit up on Tuesday and continued positive gains throughout the week. Quality was very attractive, with the majority of the supply consisting of large groups and load lots of cattle straight off the wheat and grass. Slaughter cows and bulls steady.
