As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher, heifer mates steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter cows unevenly steady. The bulk of the offering weighed 500-700 lbs with only a couple consignments of yearlings on offer. Demand was mostly moderate, best for 500-650 lb steers, spotty for all weights of heifers and any plainer quality cattle. Supply moderate to heavy.
