As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady to spots 5.00 higher and heifers sold basically steady but with spots 5.00 lower off of the very top following last week's higher market. Demand was good to very good with some bigger strings of long weaned home raised cattle on offer along with several smaller to medium sized consignments of good quality. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady except for some higher dressing cows selling sharply higher in spots, bulls steady to 2.00 higher.
