Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher and bulls were 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder cattle were unevenly steady. Demand was mostly moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were very light due to ongoing wet weather. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves were 10.00 per head.
