Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder cattle were mostly 6.00 to 8.00 lower with a limited comparison the previous week. Demand was good at lower prices; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves (7 head) brought 5.00 per head.
