average quality offering. Feeder calves 300 lbs and under appeared sharply
stronger with a lite test, while the 350-650 steers and heifers were steady to
6.00 higher with a limited supply and good demand for weaned and harder
conditioned calves. Slaughter cows appeared 2.00 to 4.00 higher with a lite
test and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.
