Compared to last week: Feeder steers 800-1000 lbs sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Using limited comparable weights, weaned steer calves lower undertone noted, heifer calves 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Overall, demand good to very good, quality average to mostly attractive. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Not enough bulls for a market report.
