Compared to last Monday: Feeder steers sold unevenly steady. Feeder heifers traded 8.00-10.00 higher with the exception of the lightweight heifers and they were much cheaper. There were some significant price swings in the steers with buyers discounting them on quality and color and paying premiums for the weaned calves in all classes. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
