Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 6.00-8.00 lower and feeder heifers were 5.00-7.00 higher. The weaned calves were in good demand but buyers still are discounting the bawling calves due to calf health concerns. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady and slaughter bulls traded 5.00-7.00 lower.
