As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. A big temperature swing in the past 24 hours has buyers exercising caution, particularly for anything without a complete health history and weaning protocol. Supply and demand moderate.
