As filed

Compared to last week there was no good comparison on steer or heifer cattle under 650 lbs. Steer cattle 650 to 800 lbs sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher and steers 800 to 900 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 lower. On the heifers 650 to 750 lb sold steady and 750 to 900 lb heifers sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower. The receipts were heavy and the demand was moderate to good.
