As filed

Compared to last week, feeders sold uneven with steers under 750 lbs trading steady to 5.00 higher and heavier weights steady to 5.00 lower. Heifer calves under 550 lbs sold firm and heavier weights sold steady to 4.00 lower. The surging price of corn is to blame for the decline on the heavier feedlot bound cattle as most 2021 contracts of corn jumped 25 cents on Tuesday. Even so, demand was moderate to good, best for steer calves. The majority of the cattle weighed 550-800 lbs and were in moderate to moderate plus flesh but some were in attractive condition. Supply was moderate to heavy and strings of reputation cattle came through the ring all day. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady, bulls steady to 2.00 higher.
