Compared to last weeks light test, very few sales were comparable to this week's large run of mostly yearlings but both calves and yearlings sold with a higher undertone. Several loads and multi-load lots of yearlings coming off grass were on offer and saw good demand. Also, some attractive consignments of calves found better demand this week with more of them weaned and better weather conditions for buyers to receive calves now that there has been some moisture fall and temperatures have somewhat stabilized. Supply was heavy. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower.
