Feeder steers 5.00-10.00 instances 15.00 lower. Feeder heifers 2.00-10.00 lower. Slaughter cows 10.00-12.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 5.00 lower. Quality was average. The CME futures traded cheaper this week coupled with new crop calves and the dreaded month of October on us, caused all classes to be lower this week.
