Compared to last week: Feeder heifers 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder steers firm compared to last weeks light test. Not enough comparable sales on calves for a market trend, but buyer demand was very good for light weight cattle which was reflected by the firm prices. Slaughter cows and bulls mostly steady. Quality was once again attractive, with several load lots of cattle straight off the wheat on offer. Trading activity was active on good buyer demand.
