As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady except for 3 loads of fancy blacks that traded with a higher undertertone with few recent comparable sales. Heifers sold 3.00-7.00 higher with several nice loads and packages of yearlings coming off grass along with some weaned calves in attractive condition. Supply was moderate and demand was good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 3.00-5.00 higher, spots 8.00-10.00 higher on the higher dressing kind.
