Feeder Cattle Auction

Receipts: 1301            Week ago: 1030          Year ago: 2193

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, (last week was a Special Bred 
heifer sale) very little of any one weight or quality to make good 
comparison, feeders sold in small lots, packages and singles with overall 
quality not as attractive as last sale with feeders selling with a lower 
undertone.  There was a few packages of 600-650 lb steers that sold 
unevenly steady.  Large offering of slaughter cows traded 3.00-7.00 lower 
than two weeks ago with slaughter cattle trading with a lower undertone 
with no recent comparison for three weeks.  Next week will be a Special 
Feeder Cattle auction.
