As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady from 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower. Supply and demand were moderate. The quality and condition of the cattle was very uneven and everything from some high quality calves and yearlings to quite a few plainer cattle were offered. Slaughter cows and bulls sold firm to 3.00 higher but some high dressing bulls sold 10.00 higher than two weeks ago.
