As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to 4.00 lower after last week's sharp upturn, heavier weights 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Several bigger strings of yearlings again this week with a particularly impressive market for 6 weight heifers, many of which sold at nearly steer price. Still lots of interest in grazing cattle, with the decline mostly off the very top of last week's trading range. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
