Compared to last week, feeder heifers weighing up to 500 lbs. sharply higher, with those weighing over 500 lbs. remaining mostly steady. Feeder bulls sharply higher overall, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts, however, a sharply higher undertone was noted for those weighing up to 500 lbs. Slaughter cows gauging 2.00 higher overall, with slaughter bulls holding mostly steady. Increased demand and buyer activity was noted for feeder classes, especially those weighing up to 500 lbs.
