Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to weak, with flesh condition being the largest determinant on price. Steer and heifer calves traded 3.00 to 10.00 higher on comparable sales. Not enough comparable sales on slaughter cows and bulls due to last weeks light test, but a higher undertone was noted. Quality was very attractive with the majority of the supply consisting of load lots of yearlings or weaned calves straight off the grass. Trading activity was moderate on moderate to good demand.
