Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher and bulls were 3.00 to 4.00 higher. There were too few feeder cattle the previous week to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves ranged 32.50 to 77.00 per head.
