Compared to last week: All classes of steers and heifers traded mostly 1.00 to 5.00 lower, with larger declines noted on 500 to 600 pound steers. Not enough comparable sales on slaughter cows and bulls for a market trend but a lower undertone was noted. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand.
