Feeder Cattle Auction

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 400-500 
lbs sold with a firm undertone, 500-700 lb steers were not well tested 
but sold with a sharply higher undertone, over 700 lbs were not tested.  
The best test was on the 400-600 lb heifers trading 10.00-20.00 higher, 
with 600-750 lbs selling firm to 6.00 higher.  Demand was good on a 
moderate offering.  Slaughter steers and heifers and slaughter cows all 
sold fully steady with last week’s market.
