As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady and a much larger run of yearlings sold with a steady to firm undertone with very few similar comparisons over the last few weeks. A nice run of reputation cattle and grass yearlings held the market up despite the board and economic concerns trending the overall market lower. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher, spots 5.00-8.00 higher on high dressing kind.
