Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs steady to 5.00 lower, over 550 lbs steady to firm. Slaughter cows 3.00-5.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Supply light. Feeder offering highlighted by two loads of steers weighing 550 & 630 lbs. Smaller run in the heat with a nice offering of feeders and cows expected next week.
