Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steer 2.00-10.00 higher with the 950lb weight class being 4.00 lower on more plain, fleshier cattle. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher in a light test. Steer calves too light to test. Heifer calves mostly steady in a light test. Demand strong, market was steady throughout the morning and continued to gain strength throughout the day as cattle futures closed sharply higher Monday and Tuesday. Quality attractive. Several large drafts of fancy feeders came through the barn today.
