Compared to last week; Steer calves 3.00 to 6.00 lower. Heifer calves 4.00 to 7.00 lower. Demand was moderate. Quality was plain. Slaughter cows 6.00 to 7.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 5.00 higher. A total of 275 cows and bulls sold with 84 percent going to packers. Expected winter weather resulted in a lack of receipts and byers.
