Compared to last week: Steers and Heifers 4.00-6.00 higher. Quality plain thru attractive. Demand good. Slaughter cows 4.00 higher. Slaughter Bulls had too few receipts from last week to establish a trend. However a much higher undertone is noted. A total of 683 cows and bulls sold with 58 percent going to packers.
