As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady except 400-445 lb steers trading 5.00-15.00 higher following last weeks lower undertone for that weight range. Demand was good to very good despite cattle futures taking a nose dive the past few days. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-6.00 higher with the most advance on higher dressing cattle.
