Cows were 1.00 higher with bulls 4.00 higher with a lighter test on bulls. Feeder steers were trending higher with a better offering of steers today and feeder heifers and bulls had instances of higher/lower with lots of value added and fancy type feeders and good buyer interest with good groups offered this week.
