346 slaughter cattle including 131 fed steers and heifers that sold with
very good demand.  Top was $176.00 compared to $171.50 last week.
An active slaughter cow market traded 6.00-8.00 higher as it appeared
that buyers were trying to gather numbers going into the Christmas holiday!
The bull trade however was just steady with mostly low yielding bulls
offered.
