As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs sold steady to 6.00 higher with the most advance on the 500-575 lb weight range and heavier weights sold mostly steady. Heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for the majority of the cattle but moderate for some of the plainer type. Supply was moderate, once again affected by the weather with muddy conditions from the rain over the weekend. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-7.00 higher on a weather influenced market as fewer are cows moving.
