Compared to last week: There were few comparable sales to set trends but steer calves moved lower while feeders kept a higher undertone. Heifers were more prominent in the sale presenting a better opportunity to set trends. Like the steer calves, smaller heifers trended some downward while feeder heifers were steady to 3.00 to 6.00 higher. High yielding slaughter cows and bulls remained steady with a higher undertone. Trading was steady.
