As filed

Compared to last week Steers under 550 lbs were untested, however a higher undertone was noted. Steers 550 to 750 lbs sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher and steers over 750 lbs sold steady to 2.00 lower. Heifers under 550 lbs were untested, however a lower undertone was noted. Heifers 550 to 800 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower and heifers over 800 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Due to the heat the supply was moderate but the demand was good.
