Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were 3.00 to 4.00 higher, while boning type slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 lower; there were too few comparable slaughter bulls to establish an adequate market comparison. There were too few comparable feeder steers and bulls the previous sale to establish an adequate market comparison; feeder heifers were mostly steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate, good for fancy cattle; market activity and buyer interest were fairly active. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.
