Compared to last week the best test of the feeder cattle market was on steers over 850 lbs as they sold 8.00 to 10.00 lower. Not enough feeder heifers for a market comparison. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher. It is interesting that the heavier weight feeders were lower this week. But most of these lots were sold on the day the CME live cattle futures were trading 5.00 to 7.00 lower. Some lots came out of grow yards and displayed a little more flesh, so gains were going to be added slowly to finish weight.
