Compared to two weeks ago, slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 higher; there were too few comparable slaughter bulls to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder cattle were mostly 1.00 to 6.00 higher. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were heavy. Cattle quality was average to attractive.
