As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady except for a lot of 700 lb yearling steers selling with a higher undertone. Demand was moderate for calves and moderate to good for yearlings. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold uneven as fleshier breaking cows and some of the higher dressing cows sold steady to firm while more average lean and boning cows sold 4.00-7.00 lower.
