As filed

*CLOSE* Compared to last week, steers and heifer calves sold uneven; 3.00 lower to 2.00 higher. No recent price comparison on Yearlings, however a lower undertone noted. The highlight of the sale was a load of 637 lb heifers selling at 160.00. Large advances in the grain market this week coupled with a lower trending CME Cattle complex in recent weeks affecting the market. Demand good on heavy supply.
