> Feeder cattle receipts at test auctions were about 27,800 head, slightly above the prior week and roughly 2,000 head above last year. Higher CME prices lifted yearling prices and pulled more cattle off native pastures, while slaughter cow prices fell after a sharp drop in the cow cutout and 90% trimmings.
