As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was good for a moderate supply. A mix of both calves and yearlings offered as several consignments of spring born calves are making their way to town sooner than normal and the remaining yearlings are coming off grass. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00-4.00 lower.
