Compared to last week, a much lighter run of feeders sold with a steady to firm undertone. Supply was light this holiday week and most cattle sold in smaller groups, however some quality cattle were still on hand. Demand was moderate to good, best for 300-525 lb calves suitable to graze and 550-625 lb steers. Cattle futures have gained back last weeks losses to start the week following Friday's bullish COF report and a large slaughter number last week that put concerns of plant slowdowns at ease. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 lower, bulls 3.00-5.00 lower.
