Compared to last week, the supply of feeder cattle increased, with several quality offerings of weaned calves. Quality and condition continued to drive demand throughout the sale. Several outstanding drafts of replacement-quality heifers sold on very good demand, highlighted by a draft of 10 head averaging 602 lbs that brought $459.00/cwt. Overall, feeder steers and heifers sold $15.00 to $20.00 higher than the previous week. Slaughter cattle sold with good demand; however, comparisons to last week were limited due to insufficient comparable receipts to establish a market trend.
