As filed

Compared to last week most weights of steers sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower with the exception of 900 to 950 lb steers that sold 5.00 higher. Most weights of heifers there were not enough cattle for a test, however 600 to 650 lb heifers sold 3.00 lower and 750 to 800 lb heifers sold 3.00 higher. The receipts were moderate and the demand was light to moderate.
