Compared to last Monday feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady on a light test. There was good demand for feeder classes. Extremely hot and humid weather conditions restricted movement of feeder cattle today. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower. There was moderate to good demand for slaughter classes.
