Compared to last week, feeder steers weighing 450-700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher, with 800-850 lb steers selling 2.00-5.00 higher and over 850 lbs trading with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs on a light test and limited comparisons from last week sold with a lower undertone, 5 weight heifers traded unevenly steady with 6 weight heifers selling steady. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate on the heifers with good demand on the steers, especially the three pot loads of top quality 810-815 lb steers and three pot loads of top quality 850-935 lb steers. Overall quality was very good on the steer calves weighing 450-700 lbs. December corn closed .03 cents higher with November soybeans closing .09 cents higher and CME Feeder Cattle contracts started the week 135-142 higher on the three front months.
