As filed

Compared to last week, steers were lightly tested but sold mostly steady while heifer calves sold with a firm to higher undertone and the best test was on yearling heifers which sold steady. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply highlighted by several loads of yearling heifers. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower.
