Compared to the last feeder cattle sale 3 weeks ago, steers under 500lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone, and steers over 500lbs and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 20.00 higher. A very impressive, high quality run this week for the first feeder sale of the year at the SLMC. This sale was a yearling special sale, and debuted the first program value added cattle on the new silver and gold value added programs offered through the SLMC. Demand was very good on a heavy supply.
