Compared to last Wednesday: Last week's small offering doesn't allow for accurate comparisons. Today's feeder sale contained several high quality weaned packages and overall demand was much stronger with prices rebounding to those seen a few weeks ago. Slaughter cows and bulls sold similar to last week.
