traded 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate to active. Buyer
demand was good early in the sale and slowly weekend throughout the day
following the lower close on the current CME feeder cattle contract. The supply
consisted of 94 percent feeder cattle, 5 percent slaughter cows and bulls, and
the remainder bred cows. The feeder cattle supply was comprised of approximately
54 percent steers and 46 percent heifers. About 73 percent of the feeder supply
