Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 550 lbs steady to 5.00 higher instances 13.00 higher 550-600 lbs 3.00-9.00 lower not enough over 600 lbs for a trend. Feeder heifers mixed with the better kind under 550 lbs 4.00-13.00 higher and 550-600 lbs and most plainer kind steady to 4.00 lower. Demand was good for the better quality feeders. Slaughter cows 1.00-6.00 lower on the small amount observed due to time limits. No trend on slaughter bulls.

Slaughter cattle
