Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 1.00 to 5.00 higher, which was inline with the gains noted on the CME cattle futures. Not enough comparable sales on steer or heifer calves for a market trend but a higher undertone was noted. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Quality was mostly plain to attractive. The majority of the supply consisted of load lots of yearlings and small bunches of bred cows.
