Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher, with instances of 13.00 higher, under 500 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers 1.00 to 5.00 higher with instances of 12.00 higher, 400 lbs - 500 lbs 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Several farmer feeders in the seats today. Demand for this large offering of eye appealing cattle was good. Biggest demand continues to be black hided cattle. Vaccinations given, length of time weaned, and load lots vs small packages were other factors influencing the demand. Several lots of cattle weighing over 900 lbs caught the eye of buyers today as well. Consumer demand for high quality beef keeps producers optimistic looking ahead. CME Feeder cattle closed slightly higher, while corn was slightly lower. Slaughter cows steady. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
