Compared to last week, feeder steers 500 lb to 950 lb sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 600 lb to 800 lb sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lb sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower. No comparison on feeder heifers over 800 lb, however a lower market was noted. Demand was good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.
