Compared to last week: Feeder steers 350 lbs - 400 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher, 400 lbs - 500 lbs 7.00 to 11.00 lower, 500 lbs - 600 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher, 600 lbs - 650lbs 3.00 to 6.00 lower, 650 lbs - 700 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 higher, 700 lbs - 750 lbs 1.00 to 5.00 lower, 750 lbs - 800lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher, 800 lbs to 900 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, 900 lbs and over 4.00 to 9.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 lower, except 500 lbs - 550 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher, 700 lbs - 900 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand for this large offering of eye appealing cattle was good. The largest demand was for black hided cattle creating wide price gaps. Most cattle were hauled in between Saturday and Sunday. No CME Markets today. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
