Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded 5.00 to 6.00 higher. There were not enough comparable sales on steer and heifer calves but sharply higher undertones were noted. Slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 4.00 higher. Trading was active on good buyer demand.
