Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher, while slaughter bulls were steady to 1.00 lower; there were too few breaking type slaughter cows to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder steers and bulls were mostly steady to 2.00 lower, while heifers were mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate.

Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was average.
