As filed

Comparisons have been limited the last few weeks, especially for the large run of yearlings offered but the undertone was weak to lower on the yearlings and steady to weak on the calves. Demand was moderate. The large losses on the board have caught up to the cash market and buyers have adjusted their bids accordingly. Supply was moderate to heavy with many straight loads on hand. Slaughter cows on a light test, sold steady to 5.00 higher when compared to two weeks ago.
