*Close* Compared to last week: Due to light sale last week, limited comparable weights available. Feeder steers sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers 700-800 lbs sold mostly 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Calves too lightly tested last week for accurate market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady to firm. Overall, demand good to very good, quality average to attractive.
