As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Pretty active market this week given the conditions, with one volume buyer out of the market and cattle futures down hard for the second straight day. Cattle were in a wide variety of condition, some showing up paper thin and others high bred but carrying plenty of extra flesh. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
