Compared to last week feeder bulls were steady to 2.00 higher, feeder heifers were unevenly steady, and feeder steers too few to compare. Slaughter cows were steady and bulls were too few to compare. Moderate offerings with quality of cattle plain to average with active buyer participation. Light demand for cattle with excessive hair.
