Compared to last week: Short sale today. Feeder steers 700-850 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers and calves not enough comparable weights for a market test, lower undertone noted. Overall demand moderate, quality average. Using a limited test, slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Bulls sold mostly steady.
