As filed

Compared to last week, 450-700 lb steers sold 3.00-5.00 higher, with 700-750 lb yearling steers trading steady, over 750 lbs were not well tested. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher, with 500-600 lb heifers selling 2.00-6.00 higher, 600-650 lbs sold steady, with a pot load of heifers weighing 680 lbs off the same consignment as last week, similar quality sold near 7.00 lower compared to last week's very active market. Demand was good on a heavy supply of feeders. A very nice offering of good quality steer and heifer calves weighing mostly 400-650 lbs sold on and active market with yearling supply much lighter than last week. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady with the bulk average to low dressing cows. CME cattle futures welcomed the first full week the new year with sharp gains as Live Cattle futures traded over 2.50 higher and the Feeder Cattle futures gaining over 4.00 on the January contract. Higher fed cattle market last week along with very nice weather in the trade area is giving support to the feeder cattle market.
