Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers over 500 lbs. sold mixed from 5.00 lower to 6.00 higher on the heavier weight ranges. Feeders under 500 lbs. not weaned and bawling sold in less demand and discounted prices. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold mostly steady. Good supply of feeders and slaughter cattle.
