Feeder heifers over 600 lbs sold 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand was reported throughout the state as good. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feed yards sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower at 178.00 to 179.00. In the hay market, demand remains slow, and trade activity is slow.
