Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher with instances of 6.00 to 9.00 higher on 500-550 lbs, 600-700 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower, over 700 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 4.00 to 7.00 lower, 600-700 lbs 4.00 to 7.00 higher, over 700 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand for this large offering of eye appealing cattle was good to very good. Flesh conditions were light to moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls sold with higher undertones in a light test.
