Compared to last week, there wasn't enough of a comparison on feeder cattle under 500 lbs for an accurate market trend. Feeder heifers over 600 lbs sold 7.00 to 12.00 higher. Feeder steers 500 lbs to 750 lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher and steers over 750 lbs sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Buyer attendance and demand was good to very good on a moderate supply.
