Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers sold mostly steady to 11.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold 4.00 - 11.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls not well tested, due to limited comparable offerings. Cattle was plain to average with some groupings of attractive offerings. Some value added cattle sold at a premium.
