Compared to last week, unable to trend feeder steers due to limited comparables, with heifers selling unevenly steady on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower, with slaughter bulls selling steady to 2.00 lower on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand and a moderate supply.
