As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers of all weights and heifers under 500 lbs steady to 5.00 lower, heifers over 500 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows mostly steady. Several larger consignments on offer this week gave buyers some numbers to build around. Pretty good condition on most of the cattle this week, with any fleshy heifers seeing deeper discounts than their steer mates. Supply moderate to heavy, demand moderate.
