Compared to last week, feeder steers sharply lower overall, feeder heifers weighing less than 500 lbs. 5.00 lower and those weighing over 500 lbs. 8.00 to 9.00 lower, with feeder bulls weighing less than 500 lbs. 3.00 to 4.00 lower and those weighing over 500 lbs. sharply lower. Decreased buyer activity, especially for heavier calves, along with lower-quality offerings was noted. Slaughter cows 6.00 to 9.00 higher with exception of lean cows 1.00 to 2.00 higher, and slaughter bulls steady.
