As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold firm to 6.00 higher and heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Most of the feeders were long weaned and in general the weigh up was attractive, however there were some good quality calves that came in off the cow as well. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.
