Compared to last week, feeders sold slightly uneven with the majority of the steers trading steady to 5.00 lower and heifers selling steady to 3.00 higher. The exception on the steers was a large consignment of all black high quality calves weighing 550 lbs coming off the cow in attractive condition trading with a higher undertone. This large consignment of calves which included the heifers as well was the highlight of the sale, but several other consignments of quality calves were offered as well. Buyers didn't mind the un-weaned calves which were the majority of the offering, other than the discounts coming for those carrying flesh and/or hair. Demand was moderate to very good for a moderate supply. Feeder cattle closed sharply lower due to the recent WASDE grain report which was considered bullish for new crop corn, but the cash feeder market held up well.
