As filed

Compared to last week trade was active with heavy receipts. The heavy receipts were due to a light sale the week before. Steers weighing 500 to 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher and steers 700 to 950 lbs sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifers weighing 500 to 750 lbs also sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher and heifers 750 to 800 lbs sold 1.00 lower.
