However, two big loads of reputation 550 to 600 pound steers with good flesh conditions traded sharply higher compared to last weeks light test in that weight range.

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 4.00 to 7.00 higher. However, two big loads of reputation 550 to 600 pound steers with good flesh conditions traded sharply higher compared to last weeks light test in that weight range. Trading activity was active on very good buyer demand. Quality was very attractive with several large consignments of yearlings and long weaned calves with at least two rounds of shots. Both CME Feeder and Live Cattle futures closed higher again today. Warmer temperatures have returned to the area following some much needed rain last week.
