light. Holstein bulls to be placed in
special veal bams sold 13 00- 16.00
lower, with weights under 100 lbs as much
as 45.00 lower. However, the demand
for Holstein heifers continues to build and
prices ranged 15.00-40.00 higher in
very active trading, even for heifers under
75 lbs. Supply included 697 head in the
State graded sale and 82 percent returned
to feed.
