Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone with few comparisons from last week, 500-650 lbs sold steady to spots 3.00 higher on the 550-600 lbs and over 650 lbs sold with a firm undertone. Slaughter cows were mostly average to low dressing selling steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate to heavy supply of good quality calves weighing 450-650 lbs. CME cattle futures had a stellar day to start the week closing with sharp triple-digits gains on Monday.
