Compared to last sale: Feeder steers weighing between 450-600 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower, while heifers weighing between 400-650 lbs sold 4.00 to 9.00 lower. Average dress slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 10.00 higher on a light test and slaughter bulls were too thinly tested to accurately compare. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
