Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales for feeder steers or heifers but a much higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly weak to 2.00 lower. Trading activity was active on good buyer demand. Quality was very attractive, with several nice load lots of yearlings and several smaller packages of calves straight off the grass on offer.
