As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers traded steady to firm with spots 5.00-7.00 higher on some of the thin yearlings weighing 600-700 lbs and demand was mostly good to very good. However, the exception was heifers weighing over 750 lbs selling with a lower undertone on moderate to light demand. Several stings of grass ready cattle were offered and buyers were aggressive to fill orders. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-5.00 higher.
