Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher with instances of 29.00 on light cattle except, 550 lbs - 600 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 lower, 850 lbs - 950 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher with instances of 20.00 on the light weights except, 800 lbs - 950 lbs steady to 5.00 lower. Demand for this eye catching offering of feeder cattle was good. Some cattle were hauled in Friday and Saturday with most arriving on Sunday. A few groups of cattle from the Northern Dakotas and Minnesota showed that winter has been very long. Cattle conditions ranged from grass green to moderate flesh. Rounds of shots, non implant, days weaned and black hide were big determining factors for buyers. CME Markets closing lower definitely did not slow down the bidders today. Slaughter cows 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Bulls 6.00 to 9.00 higher.
