Compared to last week: Steer calves 2.00-4.00 lower, feeders over 600 lbs. steady to 1.00 lower. Heifer calves uneven, mostly 1.00 lower, few 450-550 lbs. 4.00 higher, feeders over 600 lbs. 3.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cows mostly steady a few lean cows 2.00 lower, bulls 2.00-4.00 lower though quality not as attractive with more lean bulls in the offering. Trade and demand moderate to good with quality more attractive on calves and feeders.
