Compared to last month's sale, feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady to 10.00 higher with most movement in Medium and Large 2 cattle. Holstein steers sold steady to weak on a light test and poorer quality receipts. Not enough comparable feeder bulls for a market comparison. Buyer attendance good.
