Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold steady and feeder heifers were 4.00-6.00 higher. Bull calves were sharply higher except for the 400-600 lb. calves and they sold 10.00-12.00 lower. An average quality offering saw good demand from buyers. Slaughter cows and bulls sold fully steady compared to last week.
