Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 10.00-25.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls 3.00-5.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Producers took advantage of the stronger feeder trade this week with several nice consignments in the offering. The market seemed to shrug off the sharply lower futures on Thursday with the board apparently spooked by news of a potential worker strike at the JBS plant in Greeley, Co.
