Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Good quality feeder steers and heifers were sharply higher across all weight classes with a good supply and sharp demand. Buyers were active and aggressively offering premiums for weaned and preconditioned feeders today, which fueled a much stronger undertone through out the rest of the offerings. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply, except for some high dressings individuals which were noticeably higher, and slaughter bulls steady with good demand.
