Compared to last week: There were few comparable sales to determine a trend, however; a lower undertone was noted. Trade was somewhat moderate keeping with the offering of plainer type cattle. Fresh and unvaccinated cattle slipped further back from their long weaned counterparts. Slaughter cattle were steady with a good offering of beef cattle coming through the ring. Trade on slaughter cattle was moderate to active.
