Feeder steers and heifers not well tested this week. Torrington Livestock cancelled the load-lot feeder sale on Wednesday, March 18, with most consignments rescheduling for March 25. Compared to last week slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to as much as 10.00 higher and feeder cows steady. Very light test of bred cows. All bred cows pretested for age, pregnancy and bangs vaccination.
