Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 lower, except 650lbs - 700lbs 1.00 to 4.00 higher, 750lbs - 800lbs 6.00 to 9.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower, except 450lbs - 600lbs steady to 5.00 higher, 700lbs - 750lbs 2.00 higher. Demand for this eye appealing offering of feeder cattle was good. Several farmer buyers in the seats today bidding. Flesh conditions were a little more than we have seen in previous weeks. Black hided cattle were in biggest demand, creating wide price gaps. Cattle on feed as of February 1st was up 1%. CME Feeder Cattle closed lower while corn jumped the limit higher. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
