Compared to last weeks sale; There were insufficient numbers to compare on the steer calves under 550 lbs but sharply lower undertone was evident. Steer calves 550-600 lb were 14.00 lower. Feeder steers 600-700 lbs sold 2.00-4.00 lower. Heifer calves and yearlings 300-650 lbs were 8.00-17.00 lower while 750-800 lb feeder heifers sold 7.00 higher. Trade and demand were slow on smaller numbers due to the heavy rains in the area. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 higher instances 3.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold steady. Market was slow with good buyer attendance.
