Compared to last week: Feeders steers sold unevenly steady to 3.00 lower on cattle over 400 pounds. Feeder heifers sold steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 6.00 higher, but there was a light test this week. Replacement cattle and weaned cattle were in high demand today. Quality was average to good, and buyer participation was good to strong.
