Compared to last week; Steer calves had insufficient numbers to compare but a lower undertone was felt except for 550-600 lb steers being 5.00 higher. Feeder steers 600-650 lb sold 12.00 lower and 800-850 lb were 10.00 lower while 700-800 lb yearling steers sold 1.00-10.00 higher. Heifer calves 400-450 lbs sold steady to 1.00 higher and 450-600 lb were 3.00-12.00 lower. Feeder heifer yearlings 600-650 lbs sold 6.00 higher and 650-700 lbs were 13.00 lower while 700-750 lbs were 17.00 higher. Trade was slow with moderate demand on larger numbers. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 5.00-8.00 lower. Market was moderately slow with excellent buyer attendance..
