Compared to two weeks ago: There was no sale last week due to the 4th of July holiday. Feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 higher, except 800 lbs to 850 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 lower. Feeder heifers 4.00 to 8.00 higher, under 650 lbs sold much softer. Demand for this eye appealing offering of feeder cattle was exceptional. With no sale last week buyers were ready to buy cattle and fill their yards this week. Most cattle were hauled in overnight, with a few lots coming in on Saturday already. Steers and heifers had light flesh conditions, really making them appealing to the buyers. Several small packages along with load lots, with several rounds of shots offered today. Color was not a big determining factor. CME Feeder Cattle and Corn slightly higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Bulls steady
