As filed

Compared to last week, calves sold mostly steady and yearlings sold 7.00-12.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply. The calf run is slowing down but there were still many reputation consignments of weaned calves that were sought after despite the heat and several attractive loads of yearlings were offered that saw an active trade. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-7.00 higher.
