Compared to last week: Feeder steers 550 lbs and under 3.00 to 5.00 lower, 550-600 lbs 4.00 to 5.00 higher, 700 - 900 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 1000 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers 450 lbs to 650 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, 650 - 700 lbs 7.00 to 8.00 lower, 750 - 950 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of cattle was good, black hided cattle seem to be in biggest demand. Steers over 950 lbs lit the bidding up today. 2 large consignments of several lots of steers sold. The cattle were green and most hauled in overnight. The CME Feeder Cattle were a bit higher today while corn fell just bit. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
