Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 higher, while breaking type slaughter cows and slaughter bulls were 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder cattle were mostly 10.00 to 16.00 lower on a light test. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly light due to inclement weather. Cattle quality was mostly plain.
