Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 500 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher, 500-650 lbs near steady and over 650 lbs 2.00-3.00 higher. Feeder heifers 500-600 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher with other weights steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. More of the areas top fall calves were in the yards this week but with a much higher percentage of weaned cattle along with a few consignments of greener yearlings. Corn clawed back a bit on Wednesday while feeder contracts lost ground. Beef demand remains very strong although a seasonal crest may be looming with cutout values down slightly on Wednesday. Another strong offering of feeders is expected next week.
