A very limited offering of feeder cattle this week. 800-950 lbs feeder steers 1.00 higher compared to two weeks ago. Only comparison for feeder heifers was a load of 760 lbs that sold 15.00 higher than last week. Good demand for this light offering, a lighter buyer attendance but the market was very active. As the CME cattle futures contracts opened limit higher, and held there throughout the sale, after last week's friendly Cattle On Feed Report cattle feeders were ready to buy some feeder cattle. The quality was very attractive as there a couple of long strings of steers and heifers in light to moderate flesh, one string of 300 steers and heifers offered in full load lots. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher compared to Wednesday's sale, bulls recent price comparison available.
