Compared to last week: Limited offerings today. Feeder steers higher undertone noted. Heifers not enough comparable weights for a market trend. Calves limited comparable weights, steer calves higher undertone noted, not enough heifer calves for a market test. Demand good to very good, quality average to attractive. Slaughter cows 7.00 to 10.00 lower using a limited test, not enough bulls for a market test.
