Compared to the sale two weeks ago;  Too light a test for Choice slaughter 
steers.  Good offering of heavyweight steers but not enough in the previous 
auction to compare.    Choice slaughter heifers 3.00 higher, with light 
numbers.  One load of steers, along with plenty of smaller packages in the 
offering.  Good demand.
