Compared to last weeks: Feeder steers In the 300 to 400 lb range traded 10.00 to 15.00 higher with some instances 20.00 higher. Steers over 400 lbs were mostly 3.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers were mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows were 3.00 to 7.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 3.00 higher. Better quality On the feeders than the previous sale helped push prices higher. Demand was very good on most all classes.
