Compared to last week, feeder steers 700 lb to 900 lb sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Steer calves 400 lb to 700 lb sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Heifers 400 lb to 900 lb sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Approximately 2 loads of fed cows helped the breaker cows sell 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Lean cows sold steady. Slaughter bulls sold 5.00 lower, however quality was not very attractive.
