* Final Report *

No recent feeder sales to establish a trend, however a higher undertone noted on most weights especially the grass prospect cattle. Demand was moderate to good following a week of no or light sales due to the weather. Slaughter cows sold steady. No recent comparison on slaughter bulls, however a higher trend was noted.
