Compared to last weeks sale; Steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady. Steer yearlings were steady and heifer feeders had insufficient numbers to compare.. Rain in the area has slowed the numbers down. Trade was active and demand was good Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 3.00 lower. Market was moderate with excellent buyer attendance.
