Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers 4.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 12.00-18.00 higher with no comparisons available over 600 lbs. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply moderate. The fed cattle market has been on fire recently with the potential to reach 180.00/cwt this week, pushing fall feeder contracts past the 230.00 mark and generating dollars that are freely flowing in feeder auctions this week. The higher trade is bringing out several high quality fall calves with some old crops still in the mix.
