As filed

Compared to the last sale on December 15th: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady on limited comparable sales. Slaughter cows were firm compared to the last sales light test. Buyer attendance was very good, on moderate to good demand and trading activity. Quality was attractive with the majority of the supply consisting of large load lots of cattle with reputable vaccination programs and good weigh-ups.
