Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs traded mostly steady to 9.50 higher, while those over 600 lbs traded 8.25 to 12.75 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs traded 2.50 to 7.00 higher and heifers weighing over 600 lbs traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Replacement cattle were steady on like comparisons. Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. Today's run consisted of calves and yearling cattle that had multiple rounds of vaccinations, with weaning times of 30-60 days. Slaughter cattle were not reported due to reporter availability due to the Veteran's day holiday.
