Compared to last week: The feeders seemed to hit an uptick in the market heading into the holiday weekend, gaining back some of the loss from last week. Feeder steers gained from 5.00 to 10.00 higher higher while their heifer counterparts gained 4.00 to 7.00 higher. Calves continued to move slightly downward with the better kind staying steady. High yielding slaughter cows slid back 1.00 and bulls presented a lower undertone with little comparable sales. Trading was active on feeders while calves and slaughter cattle were moderate.
