Compared tp last weeks sale; Steer calves 350-400 lbs sold 5.00 higher and 450-600 lbs were 10.00 lower. Feeder steers and heifers had no comparable numbers but a lower trend was evident throughout. Heifer calves had too few numbers to establish a trend. Trade was active on smaller numbers on a lower market. Slaughter cows sold steady with few 6.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady. Excellent buyer attendance....
