Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded mostly 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded mostly steady to firm on limited comparable sales. Steer and heifer calves were weak. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady. Trading activity was active on good buyer demand. Quality was very attractive with several nice load lots of yearlings, and several smaller packages of unweaned or short weaned calves on offer.
