Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 800-1000 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, heifers 800-950 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, other weights of steers and heifers not well compared. Very good demand for this nice offering of yearling steers and heifers with many full load lots in the lineup. The market was very active, especially so on a long string of 1000-1100 lbs steers, in an attractive flesh condition, with one sort offered in 7 full loads. Cattle buyers were quick to bid to try and get these yearlings bought while they can. Corn futures 32 cents higher today, which caused some concern that higher than anticipated feed cost could materialize, but overall cattle feeders remain very optimistic about the future of the fat market as the cash markets continue to trade with a very large positive basis. Slaughter cows and bulls mostly steady.
