Compared to last week, a very nice offering of top quality calves and yearlings were on offer with 500-700 lb steers selling 4.00-8.00 higher with 750-800 lb yearling steers having few comparisons with last week but sold with a sharply higher undertone, two pot loads of 888 lb steers off the same consignment as last week sold 3.00-4.00 higher. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm, with 500-550 lbs on a light test selling steady to 4.00 higher, 550-600 lbs sold steady with 600-700 lb trading with a sharply higher undertone. Several lots of black fancy 5 weight steers were on offer selling on a very active market as did a top quality offering of 650-900 lb steers and 6 weight heifers all selling with very good demand. Slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher. CME Live and Feeder cattle futures came back after a three day Holiday weekend with strong triple-digit gains on Monday with a higher the fed cattle market last week helped to give support to the feeder cattle market.
