As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers traded mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher and heifers sold in a wide range, several dollars either side of steady. Slaughter cows steady. Mostly calves on offer this week with only a few large consignments to build around, with the balance small packages and lots. Higher fed cattle and short numbers continue to pull the feeder market higher each week. Supply moderate, demand good.
