Compared to last week no comparisons made on feeder cattle due to limited comparable sales, slaughter cows 6.00 higher, slaughter bulls too few to trend. Moderate offering of average to plain quality cattle with active buyer participation. Light demand for fleshy cattle, and cattle with excessive hair.
