Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. There was a limited number of comparison, however feeder steers and heifers were mostly 5.00 to 6.00 higher or greater in spots with good demand. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for good quality weaned packages of calves, while discounting off colored and bawling calves. Slaughter cows were 3.00 to 5.00 lower with moderate demand and no trend on slaughter bulls.
