Above average attendance for today's Slaughter Cattle Special; demand remaining fairly firm compared to last month's sale despite national trends over the same time. Higher yield Choice and Prime Steers sold $3 lower per cwt, Choice 3-4 $5-$7.75 lower; underscoring the lowering trend it should also be noted that weights averaged 25 to 80 lbs. less this sale. Little bit different story for Choice Heifers as demand rose $2 per cwt despite them averaging 130 lb. heavier a head. Slaughter Cows selling steady to $1 per cwt higher compared to last week, Breakers stood out of the pack by appearing to sell $12 higher, however, they averaged more than 200 lb. per head lighter today. No market test on Bulls or Feeders. Heiferettes, $106-$120 per cwt.
