Compared to last week, feeder steers under 650lbs traded mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher, with spots up to 10.00 higher on 4 weight steer calves. Steers over 650lbs traded unevenly steady. Feeder heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher. Supply was heavy and demand good for feeder cattle this week at the SLMC.
