As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold uneven with calves under 600 lbs steady, 600-800 lbs 3.00-7.00 lower and 800-900 lbs steady. Heifers sold 2.00-5.00 lower. Demand was mostly moderate but good in spots for the higher quality cattle with several reputation consignments offered, lighter late in the day. In general, cattle were carrying a little more flesh this week, but the recent rise in feed cost has been the main market mover. Supply was moderate to heavy. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
