Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves traded mostly steady to weak on a light test. Yearling cattle were too lightly tested for a market trend. The largest determinate factor on price today was lot size. The majority of the supply consisted of smaller packages of calves, which made it difficult for buyers to get orders started or completed. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly firm to 1.00 higher. Quality was mixed, with several really nice consignments of replacement cattle on offer.
