Steer and heifer calves sold 4.00-10.00 lower with increased numbers of un-weaned calves included. Demand moderate to good for calves. Quality not as attractive at many barns as last week, leading one to believe we are at the end of the winter graze out run. Rains continue to fall across the state, thus wheat harvest has been halted again. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold steady.
