Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 lower except a couple groups of 600-700 lb unweaned calves 2.00-5.00 higher. Feeder heifers mostly steady to 4.00 lower except the better 300-400 lbs steady to 4.00 higher. Not enough slaughter cows reported last week for a trend. Slaughter bulls 1.00-4.00 lower on a light test.
