Trade activity and demand was good. Dairy heifers under 1000 pounds traded 3.00 to 8.00 higher, while dairy heifers over 1000 pounds traded steady to 1.00 lower. Average dress slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 1.00 lower. No trends available on Dairy Springers or Replacement Cattle as there has not been a reported sale with comparable receipts. Next report will be Thursday, November 14, 2024.
