Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows firm to 3.00 higher. Really high quality offering this week consisting of mostly long time weaned calves with a few drafts of yearlings mixed in. Several heifers were bought for replacement again this week. Supply light to moderate, demand moderate to good.
