There were too few slaughter cattle reported the previous week to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder cattle were lightly tested with steers mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher, some sharply higher; bulls were mixed, 2.00 lower to mostly 5.00 higher; and there were too few comparable heifers to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.
