Compared to last week, light calves under 600 lbs sharply lower with some similar sales of heavier weights steady. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 6.00 lower. This week's offering was much smaller than last, thanks in part to some winter weather Tuesday night and Wednesday. TIght numbers proved to be somewhat of a double edged sword; while demand was still good for all weights, buyers found It harder to piece together any orders for light grazers and didn't push as hard on those cattle as last week. Supply light.
