Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves and feeder steers and heifers 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Conversation in the stands indicated the dampened CME board numbers and area feedlots tending to be full had influence on today's auction sales. Lean cows were mostly steady while fleshier kinds were firm to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls not well tested. Trade and demand moderate.
