Compared to last sale: Feeder steers weighing between 500-750 lbs traded steady to 5.00 higher. All other weight ranges were too thinly tested for accurate comparison. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs traded mostly 12.00 to 13.00 higher on a very light test and heifers over 600 lbs traded 1.00 to 8.00 higher on a light test. Average dressing slaughter cows traded steady to 4.75 higher and average dress slaughter bulls traded 2.50 higher. The next report will be available as receipts warrant.
