As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers traded steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. The cash market found a little footing Tuesday after several weeks of lower trade, Lots of field work going on throughout the trade area in a stretch of dry days as farmers try to get hay cut and corn replanted before the next rain fall. Supply light and demand moderate.
