Compared to last Tuesday: No trends due to limited head to head comparisons, however the feeder market appeared steady and good demand was shown for all classes of feeder cattle. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower with a lite test and slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 4.00 higher with good demand.
