Feeder steers and heifers sold with a firm undertone but with no recent price comparisons available. Slaughter cows 6.00-8.00 higher compared to the last reported sale three weeks ago. Recent record high fed cattle along with a positive feed outlook are providing incentive for feeders to move even higher this week while futures have been lower due to summer demand concerns and with maybe some caution as we approach the time frame of the massive sell-off seen in the cattle complex in the fall of 2023.
