Compared to last week, feeder steers 700 lb to 975 lb sold 3.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers 700 lb to 950 lb sold unevenly steady from 4.00 lower to 4.00 higher. Not enough steer and heifers under 700 lb for a market test, however a steady to higher trend was noted. Demand was good. Slaughter cows sold steady. Slaughter bulls sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher.
