Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing under 550 lbs had few comparisons but sold with a sharply higher undertone, 550-700 lbs traded 5.00-8.00 higher, 750-800 lbs sold 2.00-5.00 higher with 8 weight steers not well tested and three pot loads of big yearling steers over 1000 lbs trading with a higher undertone. Feeder heifer weighing 400-500 lbs sold with a higher undertone on few comparisons, 500-600 lbs heifer sold 3.00-7.00 higher, 6 weight heifers sold 2.00-5.00 higher with the most advance on the 650-700 lb heifers and over 700 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm with last weeks active market. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate to heavy offering with the best demand on the 400-700 lb steers going to grass. Higher fed cattle market this week, trading from 120.00-125.00, along with soaring boxed-beef prices and fall Feeder Cattle futures trading above 160.00 has given support to the feeder cattle market.
