Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 higher, while boning type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Feeder steers were mostly 1.00 to 4.00 higher with some 8.00 to 9.00 higher; heifers were unevenly steady; and there were too few comparable feeder bulls to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a higher undertone was noted. Demand was moderate to good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate to active. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.
