As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady. Although the overall supply was light, some top end consignments of weaned cattle were offered that saw very good demand. With heat and humidity starting to build, the cattle that had excessive hair did see discounts and found moderate demand along with a few un-weaned calves. Cattle and corn have been volatile on the board this week, Thursday corn was lower and cattle higher, which was opposite of Wednesday. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady, except for some high dressing individuals selling 2.00-5.00 higher.
