over 600 lbs not well tested on comparable sales.  Feeder heifers had the 
best test on 500-750 lb selling mostly 5.00-8.00 higher.  Demand was 
moderate to good on a moderate supply.  Overall a nice quality offering 
of calves and yearlings with several consignments of unweaned/short

of Large Frame heifers weighing 1060 lbs selling at 200.00.  Slaughter
