As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady except that some of the top prices weren't pushed on a light test of the higher quality cattle over 550 lbs. Heifer calves weighing 400-450 lbs sold up to 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good, best for the calves under 550 lbs. Supply was moderate to heavy, but overall the quality wasn't quite as attractive as last week with more un-weaned calves and bulls brought to town. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower.
