Compared to last week, feeder steers under 600 lbs traded 10.00 to 15.00 higher, there were to few comparisons of steers over 600 lbs from last week to call but were trending higher as well. Feeder bulls traded 4.00 to 7.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs were 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 500 lbs were 10.00 to 15.00 higher with instances of weaned cattle as much as 18.00 higher. There were many more offerings of desirable feeders this week compared to last week which helped the push the trend higher across all ranges. Slaughter cows and bulls both traded steady.
