Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. Prices for feeder heifers weighing 400-600 lbs after several weeks of having a very active market and high lofty prices feel back to earth on Monday after getting top heavy from out of state interest. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady with spots 3.00 lower on the high dressing cows. CME Cattle Futures surprisingly traded higher on Monday with triple digit gains and nearby corn traded lower but the grain markets huge up swing higher last week is what the market is looking at.
