Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were 3.00 to 4.00 lower, while breaking type slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 7.00 to 8.00 higher. Feeder cattle were unevenly steady. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly light due to rain. Cattle quality was average.
