As filed

No comparable sales for last week due to the hot weather last week. But, comparing to two weeks ago 600 to 750 lb steers sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower and 800 to 950 lb steers sold steady to 1.00 higher. 750 to 800 lb steers sold 6.00 lower. Compared to two weeks ago 650 tp 800 lb heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower and 800 to 850 lb heifers sold 4.00 higher. The receipts were moderate to heavy partly due to the light sale last week. The demand was good.
