Compared to last week, a lighter pre holiday run didn't offer too many groups of calves for an accurate test of the market but steers and heifers sold mostly steady. A load of good quality yearling steers weighing 995 lbs sold for just shy of $2,400.00 a head. Supply was light and demand was moderate. This was the last regular Thursday sale of the year. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher.
