As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with the gain on those weighing 500-550 lbs. Demand was good for a moderate supply that included several consignments of reputation cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 3.00-6.00 higher but with spots up to 10.00 higher on the higher dressing kind.
