Compared to two weeks ago: No recent comparison available for feeder steers, feeder heifers 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Good demand for this nice summertime offering of yearling steers and heifers, many long strings of yearlings in moderate to moderate plus flesh including one very attractive string of 600 head of steers. Live and Feeder Cattle futures posted triple digit gains which helped to support the market at the auction. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 higher, bulls not well tested for comparison.
