Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mostly lower with an average quality offering. Good quality feeder steers 500-600 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply, while all other weight classes were 4.00 to 8.00 lower or greater in spots with moderate demand. Feeder heifers 400 lbs and under appeared stronger but with a limited supply, while heifers 450 lbs and over were 5.00 to 10.00 lower with good supply and limited demand. Buyers are active in spots and willing to pay premiums for certain weight groups, however the continued negative pressure from the futures market has limited some buyers interest which is increasing the price spreads with in groups and classes of livestock. Slaughter cows were 3.00 to 5.00 lower with a large supply and slaughter bulls were were steady to 2.00 lower with moderate demand.
