Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to firm. Not enough recent sales on slaughter cows and bulls for a market trend, but demand was moderate to good. The wheat run was in full effect today, with the majority of the supply consisting of load lots of 700 to 900 pound cattle straight off the wheat. Trading activity was active on good demand with the corn board closing lower and both live and feeder futures closing higher.
