As filed

Compared to last week steers and heifers sold steady. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Un-weaned calves made up a larger portion of the offering this week and buyers didn't mind too bad on the better quality cattle under 600 lbs as the large temperature swings haven't come yet. There were still some yearlings on hand that found good demand as well. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher.
