Compared to last week steers less than 700 lbs sold steady to 6.00 lower. Heifers less than 700 lbs sold 3.00 to 10.00 higher. No test last week on weights over 700 lbs. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 to10.00 higher and bulls steady. Demand was good for stocker cattle, bred cattle and slaughter cows. The end of next week December 20, will close out the auction reporting in Wyoming. With this, cow buyers were aggressively buying slaughter cows and more than likely will do the same next week. Most auctions will be shut down over a two-week period until the first full week of the new year.
