*Close* Compared to last week: Due to short sale last week, limited comparable weights available. Feeder steers sold unevenly steady with a lower undertone noted on 800-850 lbs steers. Heifers 850-900 lbs sold mostly steady to 2.00 lower. Calves too lightly tested last week for accurate market trend. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Bulls sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Overall, demand good to very good, quality average to mostly attractive.
