As filed

There was not enough cattle for a good comparison on steer cattle under 600 lbs., however a lower undertone was noted. Steers 600 to 650 lbs and 850 to 900 lbs sold $10.00 lower and 900 to 950 lb steers sold $2.00 lower. The 800 to 850 lb steers sold $1.00 higher. On the heifers no comparison for heifers under 500 or over 900 lbs. 500 to 600 lb heifers sold $2.00 to 5.00 lower and 750 to 850 lb heifers sold steady to $2.00 lower. The supply was moderate with moderate demand.
