Compared to last Monday the feeder market was lower with an average quality
offering. Feeder steers 400 lbs and under were sharply lower, while the
500-650 lbs steers were 3.00 to 6.00 lower with a good supply and moderate
demand. Feeder heifers 300-600 lbs were 6.00 to 8.00 lower or greater in
spots with a good supply and moderate demand. Yearling steers and heifers
appeared firm with a lite test, while the slaughter cows and bulls were mostly
steady with a good supply and good demand.
