As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 7.00 higher with heavy yearling steers weak to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Pretty good mix of cattle on offer this week, including several pot load lots of big yearling cattle as well as some really attractive groups of fall calves with good quality throughout the sale. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
