Compared to the last special two weeks ago, the best test on feeder steers were weighing 600-800 lbs trading mostly 10.00-15.00 higher, with steer calves under 600 lbs and yearling steers over 800 lbs all trading with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers weighing under 700 lbs sold mostly 10.00-15.00 higher, with spots 20.00 higher on the 550-600 lb heifers and two pot loads of 930 lb heifers selling with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was good on a moderate offering. Several stick out sales included 59 steers weighing 914 lbs at 353.00 and a 104 hd of 930 lb heifers at 317.50. Slaughter steers and heifers sold with a higher undertone on a nice offering topping out with 9 hd weighing 1562 lbs at 250.50 a record high for the EMC slaughter cattle market. Slaughter cows sold fully steady.
