As filed

Due to the light run last week steers under 750 had too few for a comparison, however a higher under tone was noted. Steers 750 to 800 lb sold 5.00 lower. 850 to 900 lb steers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher and 1000 lb steers sold 6.00 higher. Heifers under 700 there was not enough for a comparison, however a higher undertone was noted. 700 to 850 lb heifers sold steady to 2.00 higher. The receipts were moderate and the demand was moderate.
