Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were steady to 3.00 lower. There were too few comparable feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a higher undertone was noted. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were light. Cattle quality was average.
