As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, steers and heifers under 600 lbs 2.00-5.00 lower, over 600 lbs steady. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Demand for the lighter cattle was affected by the dangerous heat coming over the next 4-5 days. Feeder offering was highlighted by a nice load of 800 lb true yearling black steers.
