As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Several consignments were kept home due to wet weather and muddy conditions but there was still a good supply of cattle for buyers to work with, including several loads and part loads. Uneven quality but good condition for most of the sale. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good in spots.
