Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 450 lbs sold with lower undertones, 450 lbs to 500 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher, 500 lbs to 650lbs steady to 5.00 lower, 650 lbs to 700lbs 7.00 to 9.00 lower, 700 lbs to 800 lbs steady to 5.00 lower, 800 lbs to 900 lbs 6.00 to 9.00 lower, 1000 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers 3.00 to 6.00 lower, except 450 lbs to 500 lbs 8.00 to 10.00 lower, 550 lbs to 700lbs steady to 4.00 higher, 700 lbs to 750lbs 7.00 to 9.00 lower. Demand for this large offering was good. Black cattle were in the biggest demand creating wide price gaps. 14 loads of yearlings really got farmers and buyers up in their seats. Cattle today carried moderate to moderate plus flesh, being a change from the previous few weeks. CME Feeder Cattle closed lower along with corn. Slaughter cows steady. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
