Feeder heifers weighing 500-650 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone with few good comparisons. A nice offering of feeder cattle sold on Friday's market with the bulk of the feeders weighing over 600 lbs and selling on and active market. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm, spots 2.00 higher on the high dressing cows.
