As filed

Compared to last week, the un-weaned steers and heifers sold mostly steady but the higher quality weaned steers and a few consignments of yearlings sold with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was moderate for the un-weaned calves but good for the weaned calves and yearlings. Supply was moderate. Heavy rain fell locally Thursday morning but Wednesday provided a nice day to move cattle. Slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher.
