As filed

Compared to last week, a lighter run of steers and heifers sold from 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower with the gain mainly on yearling heifers. Demand was moderate. The mud and rain had a negative effect on transporting cattle Thursday morning. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher except for some higher dressing cows selling 5.00-8.00 higher.
