As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, steer calves traded firm to 5.00 higher with heifer calves steady. No recent comparisons to establish a yearling trend. Several loads of yearling cattle coming to town as some producers decide they have to move some cattle, with no one sure what anything is worth these days. Demand light to moderate and supply moderate.
