As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 650 lbs sold mostly steady except for 350-450 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher and steers over 650 lbs 3.00-5.00 lower. Heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good, best for cattle under 625 lbs. Supply was moderate with nice weather to move cattle. There were several quality consignments of reputation cattle offered and the quality was good. However, as a whole not quite the quality and attractive condition that was seen last week to push some of the extreme top prices on the grazing cattle. After a couple of weeks of heavy receipts and a sluggish fed cattle market, the heavier yearlings have been under some pressure. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower.
