Compared to a light test last week, steers and heifers 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower, slaughter bulls not well tested. Demand good, supply heavy. Near 22 percent of the offering were replacement cows, slaughter cows and bulls. The feeder supply included 58 percent steers, 35 percent heifers, 07 percent bulls, with 42 percent over 600 lbs. The feeder sale was highlighted with a near two load lot of reputation, long time weaned, 600 weight steers. There were several consignments of replacement cows in the offering. The sunshine and drier weather has helped move cattle to market.
