Compared to last week, there were too few comparable feeder steer and feeder bull sales to establish a trend. Feeder heifers were steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows were unevenly steady. Slaughter bulls were too few to trend. There were light offerings of mostly average quality cattle with active buyer participation.
