Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers sold steady to firm. Steer calves traded mostly 2.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on heifer calves. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Quality was very attractive with several nice bunches of calves, and load lots of yearlings straight off the grass.
