As filed

Compared to the last feeder cattle auction three weeks ago, 400-500 lbs steer calves were not well tested on a light offering, 500-550 lbs sold steady to spots 3.00 higher with 550-650 lbs selling mostly steady on comparable sales, 650-800 lbs sold 4.00-7.00 lower with the most decline on the 750-800 lb steers. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold steady with 600-700 lb trading 3.00-5.00 lower, over 700 lbs not well tested. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. CME cattle futures bounced back with triple digit gains with corn, soybean and wheat closed with sharply higher gains with soybeans leading the way over 30 cents higher and corn 8 cents higher keeping a bullish momentum for the grain market to start the new year on a demand driven market. Slaughter cows traded steady to 3.00 lower than three weeks ago.
