Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were lightly tested with no "good" comparisons for a market trend. Slaughter cattle trading 4.00 to 8.00 lower with light demand. Hot temps for the week in the mid 90's are keeping the supply numbers lower along with market instability. Supply was light with moderate demand.
