grain fed lines. The usual buyers were present and competing along with restockers, in a market that was firm to dearer on the better cattle,
but showed a cheaper trend on the plainer lighter types.

receiving from 230c to 310c/kg. Restockers paid from 220c to 274c/kg for the plainer types. The heifer portion to processors increased 10c, to
