Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly 10.00 to 12.00 higher, heifers sold mostly 6.00 to 9.00 higher. Weaned steer calves sold 4.00 to 7.00 lower using limited comparable weights. Heifer calves not enough comparable weights for an accurate market trend, lower undertone noted. Demand good, quality mostly average. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher, bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower.
