SaturdaySale day
Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was mostly stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were 3.00 to 8.00 higher with a good supply and good demand for weaned and harder conditioned calves. Yearling steers appeared steady with a good supply, but limited head to head comparisons. Feeder heifers 300-700 lbs were unevenly steady ranging from 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower in spots with a good supply and spotty demand. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for quality cattle, while discounting off colored and heavy conditioned calves severely. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and good demand and no trends on slaughter bulls due to last weeks lite test, however the slaughter market appeared firm.
