Compared to last week: Due to last week's short sale, limited comparable weights available. Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly 10.00 to 13.00 higher. Not enough calves for a market trend. Demand good to very good, quality average to some attractive. Slaughter cows sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher, bulls sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher using limited comparable weights.
