Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 450 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower, 450-600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher with weights over 600 lbs steady to firm on a limited test. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 5.00 lower, over 600 lbs steady to firm on a limited test. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Demand uneven. Supply light. The feeder market is fairly choppy this week with strong demand for the better quality cattle with buyers rapidly becoming more cautious about quality and flesh on anything other than the front end kind. Fed cattle look to be steady this week with cutout values gradually gaining and the final push of large fed cattle numbers for this cycle not too many weeks away.
