As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers 2.00 to 5.00 lower on a limited test. Holsteins compared to two weeks, under 600 lbs not well tested, over 600 lbs steady. Demand moderate to light for calves, moderate for yearlings and Holsteins, supply light. The receipts were curtailed as recent lower prices and more rain in the forecast kept some cattle at home. Weigh-ups average to full.
