*Close* Compared to last week: Light sale today, limited comparable weights. Feeder steers 850-950 lbs sold mostly steady to 1.00 higher. Feeder heifers 750-800 lbs sold 6.00 to 7.00 higher. Calves sold unevenly steady using limited comparable weights. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 lower. Bulls too lightly tested for a market trend, higher undertone noted. Overall, demand good to very good, quality average to attractive.
