Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 6.00 higher. Feeder steers and bulls were mostly 4.00 to 6.00 higher, while heifers were mostly steady to 4.00 lower. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were light due to inclement weather over the weekend. Cattle quality was mostly average.
