Compared to last week: There were no comparable sales to set a trend for feeders and calves. However, prices were higher being reflective of the quality of cattle brought to town. Fleshy, high yielding beef cows brought 8.00 higher while other classes of slaughter cows and bulls remained steady but strong. Trade was moderate to active.
