As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, choice steers were 10.00 lower with the choice heifers 9.00 lower. Very limited supply today. The down pressure on the market is due to the fire at the Tyson's plant in Holcomb, Kansas. A limited supply of Holstein steer today, but no comparison due to none in last weeks report.
