Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were not well tested however undertones were unevenly steady. Steer and heifer calves sold 8.00-12.00 higher with spots 20.00 higher. Demand was very good on a light to moderate supply. The largest draft of the day was 155 head of 615 lb. steers that sold for 390.50 which was 10.50 higher than a 92 head comparable draft last week. Cooler temperatures are expected this week with nighttime lows dropping into the lower 40's across much of the region. Feeder and Live Cattle Futures traded higher on Tuesday as Corn Futures traded lower.
