Compared to last Monday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were sharply higher with a moderate supply and strong demand for weaned and harder conditioned calves. Feeder heifers 550 lbs and under were sharply higher as well while the 600-650 lbs heifers were mostly steady to 2.00 lower with a good supply and good demand. Yearling steers and heifers appeared stronger with a good supply, but limited head to comparisons. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 lower with a moderate supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.
