Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were steady. Steer and heifer calves were steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. The quality of offering was average, consisting of mostly small drafts. Six-weight steers broke the 3.00 mark last week, with several packages selling above 3.00 this week. Five-weight heifers joined the 3.00 club this week with a package of 28 head, 500 lb. heifers bringing 322.00/cwt. The stick-out draft of the day was a package of 14 head of 702 lb. steers that brought 287.00/cwt. The Cattle Futures traded mixed today with Corn Futures trading higher.
