Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers traded steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Quality was above average with several long-time weaned and vaccinated calves and yearlings in the offering. USDA's Cattle on Feed Report, released last week, placed Inventories slightly below a year ago with Placements 2 percent higher and Marketings 1 percent higher. The Semi-Annual Report, also released last week, placed all cattle on feed as unchanged compared to the first half of last year, with Cattle Inventory up slightly and the Calf Crop down 1 percent.
