Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to firm on comparable sales. Not enough comparable sales on steer and heifer calves due to last weeks light test. Slaughter cows traded 7.00 to 8.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on slaughter bulls for a market trend. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand.
