Compared to last week: In a light test this week feeder steers and heifers unevenly steady. Demand for this light offering of attractive feeding cattle was good. Large offering of 1000lb cattle, carried a little more flesh than the 1000lb cattle last week. A couple lots of cattle were sold due to drought in the Northern area. CME Live Feeder cattle was higher along with corn. Slaughter cows Breaker and Lean 1.00 - 2.00 lower, Boner 1.00 -2.00 higher. Slaughter Bulls 2.00 - 3.00 lower.
