Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers under 550 lbs sold with lower under tones, 550 lbs and over 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 550 lbs and under sold with higher undertones, 600 -650 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, 650 lbs to 750 lbs 7.00 to 8.00 higher, not a meaningful comparison in the 8 weights, 900 lbs to 950 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Demand for this large offering was good. Several large lots of cattle today. Fresh conditions were green and most were hauled in overnight. CME Feeder Cattle and Corn closed lower today. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls steady.
