Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers both traded mostly 10.00 to 15.00 lower with un-weaned fleshy cattle selling sharply lower. Value added and weaned cattle did not take the same losses on average as the new crop cattle. Slaughter cattle were not well tested. Supply was lighter than previous weeks and demand was moderate.
