Compared to last Tuesday sale selling all classes of animals; slaughter and feeder cows made up most of the sale with higher overtones noted, slaughter bulls mostly steady. Not enough bred cows and feeder calves for a good market test. Special feeder calf sale next week. Demand very good with good buyer attendance and participation.
