No comparison with last Monday due to weather closure; however feeder market has noticeably improved over the last two bad weather weeks. Warmer temps today and better weather this week saw an active market with good buyer participation today. Market gained momentum throughout the day following higher CME feeder cattle futures. Moderate to good demand for slaughter cows. Good demand for slaughter bulls.
