As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder and slaughter markets were stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 450 lbs and under were sharply higher, while the 500-700 lbs steers were 6.00 to 8.00 higher with a good supply and strong demand. No trends on the yearling steers due to limited head to head comparisons, however they appeared steady. Feeder heifers were 2.00 to 6.00 higher or greater in spots with strong demand. Buyers were active and willing to pay premiums for weaned packages and thinner harder conditioned calves, while discounting off colored and heavy conditioned calves severely. Slaughter cows were mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher, except for the high dressing cows that were 4.00 to 6.00 higher with a good supply, and slaughter bulls were steady to 5.00 higher for the higher dressing bulls with strong demand.
