As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower, spots sharply lower. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower. Other than two loads of backgrounded cattle, the bulk on offer was calves, most short weaned or right off the cow. A pretty varied offering quality wise made it difficult for buyers to fill any one order, particularly for those looking for only weaned and vaccinated calves. Supply and demand moderate.
