Heavier run compared to last week, similar offering of Slaughter Cattle but doubling the number of Feeders, few Sheep and Goats. Average attendance pursued active trade throughout. Feeders too spread out across the weights to establish a good market test; it can be noted that Heifer demand is trending lower compared to last. Downward trend for Slaughter Cattle resumed this week after briefly shoring up last week. Average dress Cows lower by $15.60 per cwt., Lean Cows lower by $23.00 per cwt, Breaker Cows and Bulls down $19.00 per cwt.
