Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers over 700 lbs sold 3.00-4.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves sold 4.00-8.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Quality was above average with several groups of 100 plus head, from reputation herds, in the offering. Cattle Futures traded slightly lower, following Monday's sharp decline, as Grain Futures traded on the positive side.
