Compared to last week: Turn out was short due to the abundance of moisture in the area throughout the week and sale day. Therefore, there were no comparable sales to trend and trading was slow. Fresh cattle continue to be 20.00-30.00 back from their weaned counterparts and high yielding slaughter cattle remain steady.
