Compared to last Monday: Feeder steers under 500 lbs. sold sharply lower and those over 500 lbs. were sharply higher. Feeder heifers traded 6.00-8.00 lower. The demand for feeder cattle continues to be somewhat softer. Producers seem to be near capacity and some are involved in fieldwork which is taking priority. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady on a light test.
