Compared to last week: No trend on feeder steers due to low comparable receipts, however a higher undertone was noted. Feeder heifers under 550lbs sold sharply higher with feeder heifers over 550lbs 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Good quality offering of feeder calves in todays sale with good demand on all feeder classes. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 6.00 to 8.00 lower.
