Compared to last week: Feeder steers 5.00-10.00 lower. Feeder heifers 2.00-10.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00-6.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 3.00 lower. Quality was average. Buyer participation was limited. Fleshy new crop calves made up the majority of the offering. Changes in the weather combined with the time of year has the market on a downslide.
