Compared to last week: Feeder steers 800-900 sold mostly steady to 1.00 higher. Feeder heifers limited comparable weights, 800-850 lbs sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Using a limited test, weaned steer calves sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher, weaned heifers higher undertone noted. Overall, demand good to very good, quality average to attractive. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 lower, not enough bulls for market trend.
