As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold in an uneven manner, from 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher and heifers mostly weak to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Several nice mid sized consignments on offer this week that buyers were able to fit together but with anything packing some extra flesh or hair seeing less demand on what was one of the first hot days of the season. Supply and demand moderate.
