Compared to last weeks sale; Steer calves and steer yearlings sold steady- 10.00 lower. Heifer calves 300-500 lbs were steady - 3.00 higher and 500-600 lbs sold 6.00 lower while 600-700 lbs feeder heifers were 15.00 higher. Weaning dates and shot programs were very instrumental in prices on all calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady-5.00 lower. Trade was uneven on a lower market with larger numbers. Excellent buyer attendance..
