As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady except for some of the 400-500 lb steer calves trading up to 5.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for the higher quality cattle but moderate in spots where the quality was a little more uneven this week. Supply was heavy. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-4.00 higher.
