As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Supply and demand were moderate. The quality of cattle and the way they were handled varied quite a little from several consignments of un-weaned calves with the males still intact, to loads of long weaned yearlings. The fall-born calves are making up a larger portion of the offering each week. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.
