Compared to last week, steers sold 5.00-9.00 higher and heifers traded steady to spots 5.00 higher on a few yearlings. Supply was light but a nice consignment of 7 weight yearling steers and some good quality calves saw very good demand. Corn dropped like a rock on Thursday with most contracts closing near 35 cents lower, adding further support to the already trending higher feeder market. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
