Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was mixed with an average quality offering. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were steady to 4.00 higher in spots with a moderate supply and good demand for weaned packages and groups. Yearling steers appeared firm, but with no true head to head comparisons. Feeder heifers 400 lbs and under were 4.00 to 6.00 lower with moderate demand, while the 450-600 lbs heifers were steady to 3.00 higher with a good supply. Feeder buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for quality and weaned packages of calves, while increasing the discounts on off colored and bawling calves severely. Slaughter cows and bulls were 1.00 to 3.00 lower with a moderate supply and moderate demand.
