Compared to two weeks ago, boning type slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower; there were too few breaking type slaughter cows and slaughter bulls to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder steers and bulls were mostly 1.00 to 3.00 lower, some 6.00 to 7.00 lower, while heifers were mostly 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was average.
