Compared to last week, and based on a heavier test this week, feeder steers and bulls sold 5.00 to 20.00 higher with feeder heifers 4.00 to 10.00 higher. Higher feeder prices were due to higher-quality offerings, strong demand, and the recent upturn in the futures market. No comparisons available for slaughter cows and bulls due to limited comparable receipts.
