Compared to last Monday the feeder market was spotty with an average quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 600 lbs and under were unevenly steady ranging from 4.00 higher to 4.00 lower in spots with a good supply and good demand for weaned and harder conditioned calves. Yearling steers and heifers appeared firm with a good supply and good demand. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for quality cattle, while discounting the fatter bawling calves severely and increasing the price spread in most weight classes. Slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.
