Compared to last week feeder steers were mostly steady on a light test with very good demand for weaned and vaccinated cattle. Heifers were mostly 3.00 to 4.00 lower on a light test. Slaughter cows mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher, bulls were mostly steady. All slaughter comparisons based on a limited test.
