SaturdaySale day
Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was mostly stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 350 lbs and under appeared stronger with a lite test, while the 400-700 lbs steers were steady to 3.00 higher with a good supply and good demand for quality cattle. Yearling steers appeared stronger as well, but with limited head to head comparisons. Feeder heifers 300 lbs and under were sharply higher with a moderate supply, while the 400-600 lbs heifers were steady to 4.00 higher with a good supply and good demand. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for quality cattle, while discounting off colored and bawling calves severely and increasing the price spreads in most weight classes. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were 4.00 to 5.00 lower with moderate demand.
