Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs. 2.00-3.00 higher, instances 14.00 higher on value added offerings. Over 600 lb. steers steady to 2.00 higher. Heifers under 600 lbs. 2.00-5.00 higher, over 600 lbs. 1.00-2.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-5.00 higher, no comparison on bulls due to very limited receipts.
