SaturdaySale day
Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was mostly lower with an average quality offering. Feeder steers 450 lbs and under appeared steady to 5.00 lower with a good supply, while the 500-700 lbs steers and the yearling steers were sharply lower with moderate demand. Feeder heifers 250-350 lbs appeared steady with a lite test, while the 400-650 lbs heifers were 8.00 to 10.00 lower with a good supply and moderate demand. The increasing heat and humidity and continued downward movement in the futures market has limited some buyers interest and increasing the discounts on plainer, off colored, heavier conditioned calves. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 lower with a moderate supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.
