Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers 3.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers 6.00-12.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 higher. Good quality feeder offering but fairly light numbers with the cold and icy conditions to the south. Tuesday's January 1st cattle inventory report was bullish although fairly neutral compared to expectations confirming the shrinking cattle numbers seen through elevated cow slaughter and reduced heifer retention.
