Compared to last week steers and heifer sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold steady. Demand was good throughout the week. Rather large crowd of buyers in-house and on the internet at the annual Labor Day sale in Torrington. First sampling of fresh bawling calves off the cow with most having some sort of shot protocol and they sold very well for the packages on hand. There were roughly 12 full pot loads of cattle on the day with the rest of the sale in package trades. Overall, the cattle market continues to be very good.
