Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 400 lbs. 8.00-10.00 lower; over 400 lbs. 1.00-5.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs. steady; over 600 lbs. 5.00-7.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 5.00-7.00 lower. Cattle were plain to average with few attractive. Yearling type cattle small enough to go to grass were in good demand. Precondtioned cattle sold at a premium.
