As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher as cattle futures have seen some nice gains since the last sale and there has been some improvement in the trade of fed cattle. Demand was good for a light supply that included several nice yearlings coming off grass. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and bulls sold 1.00-3.00 lower.
