Compared to last week: Feeder steers unevenly steady, except 750 - 800 lbs 11.00 to 13.00 higher, 1050 - 1100 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers unevenly steady in a light test. Demand for this nice offering of green cattle was moderate. Several loads of green, eye appealing yearling steers sold. Weather being so nice farmers are in the field. CME Feeder Cattle was lower while corn was higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady.
