As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady from 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply that included six loads of 875-925 lb steers along with several other consignments of yearlings. Record setting meat production and large supplies of market ready cattle are weighing on the market. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
