Compared to last week: Slaughter Steers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Dairy Steers were too lightly tested last week to develop an accurate market trend, however weak undertones were noticed. Slaughter heifers were too lightly tested this and last week to develop an accurate market trend, but sold steady on limited sales. Dairy Heifers were not well tested last week, but sold weak on very limited comparable sales. Slaughter Cows sold steady to 3.00 lower, with Lean cows selling steady to 1.50 higher. No comparison for Slaughter Bulls. Demand was good on moderate offerings with heavy buyer attendance. Feeder Dairy Bull calves sold 15.00-20.00 higher with good demand for higher quality cattle. Feeder Dairy Heifer calves sold weak on a very narrow comparison. Buyer attendance was moderate for the feeder dairy calf sale. Offerings included 193 slaughter steers, 64 slaughter heifers, 155 slaughter cows, 11 slaughter bulls, 4 miscellaneous cattle, and 624 calves.
