Compared to a light test from three weeks ago, steers and heifers under 600 sold 4.00-10.00 higher and heavier weights steady to 6.00 higher. The quality and condition of the cattle was attractive with several reputation consignments on hand. Trade was active and demand was good to very good. Supply was heavy. A large reputation consignment of 500 plus cattle was sold on video as well. No doubt buyers were eager to buy cattle, especially those suitable to graze following the weather break. Slaughter cows sold uneven when compared to three weeks ago from 2.00-3.00 higher on the fleshier breaking cows to 2.00-3.00 lower for the lean and boning cows.
