quality offering. Feeder steers 300-400 lbs were mostly steady with a limited
supply, while the 500-800 lbs steers were 8.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in
spots with strong demand for long weaned and value added groups and loads.
Feeder heifers 400-600 lbs were steady to 4.00 higher, while the yearling
heifers appeared stronger but with limited head to head comparisons.
Slaughter cows and bulls were 2.00 to 4.00 higher with a limited supply and
good demand.
