Compared to last week, few comparisons of type and kind could be made but steers and heifers sold with a steady undertone. In contrast to last weeks run of yearlings, mostly un-weaned calves were offered with several bulls in the mix. The big temperature swings are tough on calves and buyers want to know the specifics of how cattle have been handled. Demand was moderate to light for calves and good for a few yearlings. Supply was light. Slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher.
