Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 lower and boning type slaughter cows were 6.00 to 7.00 lower; slaughter bulls were 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder steers were unevenly steady; heifers were mostly 5.00 to 6.00 higher; and feeder bulls were mostly 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was average.
