Today's run lighter by 175 head with Feeders dropping by nigh 200 head with the difference made up by an increase Slaughter Cattle and double the Replacements from last week. Moderate to fair attendance today with firm buying support throughout the sale although lowering trends can be noted. Feeder Steers on the lighter end of the run sold lower by $10-$12 per cwt, however the heavier end of the run sold steady to $4 higher. Heifers followed an inverse trend, a modest increase by $3 per cwt on the light end while selling $8.50-$10 per cwt lower on the heavy side. Feeder Bulls also saw lower trends this week of roughly $16 to $22 per cwt. It can be noted that lighter Bulls sold closest to similar quality Steers, trailing them by $6-$10 per cwt and this gap widening to $20-$30 per cwt lower in four to five hundred pound weight breaks. Slaughter Cows followed the regional and national trend of the past week hovering at $15 per cwt lower, however, this trend hasn't hit the higher dressing types as hard. Inversely, Slaughter Bulls sold steady to $1 higher. Baby Calves up to $325 per head. Heiferettes, $110-$121 per cwt. Market Hogs, $32.50 to $52 per cwt, Shoats, $12.50 to $40.00. This sale is reported on an out-weight basis.
