Compared to last week slaughter and feeding cows sold steady to 6.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold steady. Demand was good for the short summer run of slaughter cattle. Decent moisture across the trading region has curtailed ranchers from having to disperse cows so far this summer. Most areas have ample grass to sustain the herd till weaning time.
