Compared to last week: There were few comparable sales to determine a trend but a lower undertone was highly noted. Unweaned and short weaned cattle continue to slide further away from their counterparts. Bigger, mature cattle ,however, are continuing to stay steady and in higher demand. Slaughter cows were steady to a little lower while high yielding bulls were up 4.00. Trade was largely moderate with moderate demand. Warmer, drier fall weather continues to dominate the area with few chances of moisture in the forecast.
