As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Mostly calves on offer this week, many of them long time weaned. The unweaned variety did still see some discounts but not as steep as last week, with the particularly high quality of a couple different consignments nearly making up the difference. Supply and demand moderate.
