SaturdaySale day
Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was spotty, but stronger in several spots with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 350 lbs and under appeared sharply higher with a lite test, while the 400-600 lbs steers were mostly steady to 4.00 higher with a good supply and good demand for weaned and harder conditioned calves. Yearling steers appeared sharply higher as well with a good supply, but limited head to head comparisons. Feeder heifers 300-600 lbs were unevenly steady ranging from 4.00 higher to 4.00 lower in spots with a good supply and spotty demand. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for quality cattle, while discounting bawling and heavier conditioned calves severely. Slaughter cows were steady to 3.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with a lite test.
