Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steer and heifer calves sold 5.00 to 8.00 lower with some spots sharply lower on some flyweights. No recent test on yearlings. Slaughter cows 10.00 to 13.00 higher. The calf market took a little rest this week with a different mix on offer ahead of the looming Annual BBQ Sale. Several loads of yearlings were easily absorbed. Supply and demand moderate, demand good in spots.
