Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was spotty but stronger in several spots with a good quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 300-600 lbs were unevenly steady ranging from 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher in spots with a good supply and good demand for weaned and harder conditioned calves. Slaughter cows and bulls were 3.00 to 5.00 lower with a lite test and moderate demand.
