Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 500 lbs traded 7.00 lower. Steers over 500 lbs traded 1.00 to 4.50 higher. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs traded steady to 1.00 higher, while those over 550 lbs were 1.50 to 4.00 lower. Replacement cattle were too thinly tested to quote. Slaughter cattle were not quoted due to reporter availability. Trade activity and demand were moderate. The next available report will be Wednesday, October 14, 2020.
