Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves were mostly 6.00 to 7.00 higher, instances of up to 10.00 higher. Quality was very attractive, with several load lots of cattle straight off the wheat on offer. There were also quite a few bunches of light weight turn out cattle. Buyer demand and trading activity were good. Buyers seemed optimistic since the Corn contract closed down both days this week ahead of the prospective plantings report.
