Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were down 2.00 to 3.00. Good quality feeder cattle were steady to down 2.00 to 3.00 with plain and undesirable cattle cheaper. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was plain to average. Eight baby calves ranged 10.00 to 50.00 per head.
