Compared to last weeks sale; Steer calves 350-550 lbs sold 9.00-15.00 higher, instances sharply higher. Feeder steers 600-850 lbs were 3.00-12.00 higher. Heifer calves and feeder yearlings 500-650 lbs sold 5.00-12.00 higher. No other comparable sales were established because of the smaller sale last week. Trade was very active with very good demand on larger numbers. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady to 4.00 lower. Market was very active with excellent buyer attendance
