Compared to last week: Yearling feeder steers and heifers steady 1.00 higher. A light offering of spring born calves this week, too few to allow price comparisons. Good to very good demand for this nice offering of yearlings, featuring both light fleshed cattle off grass and heavier fleshed yearlings out of growing yards. Cash fed cattle were higher again last week and a stronger futures complex today helped to support the yearling feeder cattle market. Light demand for the packages of calves, most were right off the cow , some with fall shots and weaned but still not the quality offered to really test the market . Calves without fall shots are extremely hard to sell as buyers have to take enough risk feeding cattle and aren't willing to take on more with a set of calves that are at high risk of a health outbreak. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 2.00 lower, bulls steady.
