As filed

Compared to the last tested market two weeks ago, sales trended in a sporadic manner with several spots showing sharply higher sales and others dramatically lower. In most of the well tested weight ranges steer cattle traded mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher and heifers weak to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Typical trade week for the fall calf run with a buyers showing varying degrees of interest based on the sought after "weaned with two rounds" status. Supply heavy, demand moderate.
