As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady. Demand was good for a moderate supply that included several quality consignments of calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows and bulls sold firm to 2.00 higher, except the lean cows which sold 3.00-5.00 higher to make up what they lost last week.
