Compared to last Monday the feeder market was sharply higher with a good quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 650 lbs and under were mostly 10.00 to 20.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply and strong demand for all classes of feeder cattle. Yearling steers and heifers appeared stronger as well but with limited head to head comparisons. Feeder buyers were highly active today and willing to increase the premiums paid for weaned and pre-conditioned calves. Slaughter cows and bulls were 2.00 to 5.00 lower with a good supply and moderate demand.
