Compared to last week: Feeder heifers traded mostly 6.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers for a market trend. Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 3.00 to 9.00 higher compared to last weeks light test. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady. Trading activity was active. Buyer demand was good, especially for light weight calves with favorable flesh conditions suitable for grass. Quality was mostly plain to attractive with several load lots of yearling straight off the week and lighter weight grass calves on offer.
