Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mixed with a mixed quality offering. Lighter weight feeder steers 500 lbs and under were 3.00 to 5.00 lower, while the 550-700 lbs steers were steady to 3.00 higher with a good supply and good demand for weaned packages and groups. Yearling steers were 3.00 to 6.00 higher with a good supply and strong demand for yearling cattle. Feeder heifers followed a similar path with the lighter weight heifers 600 lbs and under 2.00 to 5.00 lower or greater in spots with moderate demand, while yearling heifers appeared higher but with limited head to head comparisons. Buyers were active but selective today and were willing to pay premiums for quality feeders and yearling cattle, while at the same time increasing the discounts on plainer, off colored or fat bawling calves and increasing the price spread across the weight classes. Slaughter cows and bulls were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with a good supply and good demand. Additionally an increased interest was seen and noted in young and middle aged cows to return to the farm.
