As compared to last weeks market: the good 500-600lbs feeder cattle were steady ,and the small feeder calves were mixed to slightly lower. The slaughter cattle were steady. We had some 5-8 month bred heifers bring 2200-2800$. We also had a couple of nice replacement heifers that average 990lbs and they brought 2500$ per head.
