Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 3.00 to 4.00 higher, while slaughter bulls were 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Feeder steers were mostly 3.00 to 7.00 higher; four-weight feeder heifers were steady to 2.00 lower, while five-weights were 6.00 to 8.00 higher, and there were too few six-weights to establish an adequate market comparison; feeder bulls were mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was mostly plain to average.
