Compared to sale two weeks ago, feeder heifers weighing less than 500 lbs. 4.00 lower, with those weighing over 500 lbs. 4.00 higher. Feeder bulls mostly steady overall, with no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 lower overall, with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts, but a lower undertone was noted.
