Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mixed with an average quality

test, while the 350-600 lbs steers were unevenly steady with a good supply and
good demand. Yearling steers were 3.00 to 5.00 lower with a good supply and
moderate demand. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were 5.00 to 10.00 higher or
greater in spots with a good supply and strong demand. Slaughter cows were
steady to 3.00 higher with a good supply and increasing interest in cows
returning to the farm. Slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 higher with a good
supply and strong demand for higher dressing bulls.
