Compared to last sale on 10/14/24; This sale was on Tuesday because of large rain storms and flooding in the Roswell area. Steer calves had insufficient numbers to compare and feeder steers had low numbers also but a 10.00 lower market was evident. Heifer calves 450-500 lbs sold 7.00 lower and 500-550 lbs were 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers had no numbers or sales to compare. Trade was slow with light demand on small numbers. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 lower few 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were 4.00-5.00 lower. Good buyer attendance.
