Compared to last Tuesday at the same market, Stocker steers and heifers were uneven wts under 500 lbs weak to 2.00 lower, over 500-650 lbs steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder cattle over 650 lbs 3.00-8.00 lower. A higher grain market and a higher Canadian dollar helped weaken the market. Trade active with good demand from buyers ringside and on the internet.
