Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was mixed with a noticeably plainer quality offering. Light weight feeder steers 350 lbs and under were sharply higher with good demand, while the 400-650 lbs steers were unevenly steady with a good supply. Yearling steers appeared steady with a good supply and good demand. Light weight feeder heifers 350 lbs and under were sharply higher with strong demand, while the 400-700 lbs heifers were unevenly steady with a good supply. No trends on yearling heifers due to limited head to head comparisons. Extremely muddy conditions and predicted heavy rainfall, with severe flooding over the next few days limited some buyers interest, however buyers were willing to pay premiums for weaned packages or thinner fleshed harder conditioned calves with more opportunity for quicker gains. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 2.00 lower for the lower dressing individuals, while slaughter bulls were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with a good supply and good demand.
