As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers under 900 lbs and all weights of heifers sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher, yearling load lots sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Sharp losses for cattle futures as boxed beef prices fall but demand was very good this week, with some top quality 700 lb steers and 500 lb heifers trading with a sharply higher undertone. Several loads of yearling cattle were spread across multiple buyers in pretty tight price ranges. Supply heavy.
