Feeder steers under 600 lbs were too thinly tested for an accurate comparison, Steers between 600-750 lbs sold 1.75 lower to 4.75 higher on a light test. Feeder heifers weighing between 500-800 lbs sold 2.25 to 7.50 lower. Average dress slaughter cows sold unevenly steady and average dress slaughter bulls sold 4.00 higher. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
