Compared to last sale: Feeder steers under 450 lbs sold 12.00 to 22.00 lower on a very thin test. Steers weighing 450 to 600 lbs sold 6.00 to 16.00 higher. All other weight ranges were too thinly tested for a comparison. Feeder heifers under 400 lbs sold sharply lower on a very thin test. Heifers weighing 600 to 800 lbs sold 1.00 to 7.50 higher. All other weight ranges were too thinly tested for an accurate comparison. Average dress slaughter cows sold steady to 5.50 higher and average dress slaughter bulls sold 1.50 lower. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
