As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers traded 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Strong trade this week despite some very hot weather and another down day for cattle futures. This week's offering included 12 straight pot load lots of green yearlings, all good kind and creating some very active trade. Supply heavy, demand good.
