Compared to last week, feeder heifers weighing up to 500 lbs. 6.00 lower and those weighing over 500 lbs. mostly steady, and feeder bulls measuring 3.00 to 4.00 higher overall, with no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts for non-preconditioned calves. Slaughter cows gauging 5.00 to 9.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls 4.00 higher.
