Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs sold with higher undertones, too lightly tested in recent weeks to make a complete comparison, 600-650 steady to 3.00 lower, 650-700 lbs 10.00 to 12.00 higher, 700-750 1.00 to 3.00 higher, 950 lbs and higher 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs sold with higher undertoness, 450-500 lbs 5.00 to 8.00 higher, 500-550lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher, 550-600 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower, 600-700 lbs 5.00 to 8.00 lower, 750-800 lbs steady to 4.00 lower. Demand for this nice offering of green cattle was excellent today. Very active bidding today especially on steers. US Inventory reported 11.95 million head on feed November 1st, down slightly from last year. CME Live Feeders closed slightly higher today, while corn took a decent jump higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
