As filed

Comparison's from last week were very limited but a nice offering of calves and yearlings sold with a firm to higher undertone. The exception was for the mid-weight steer and heifer calves weighing 550-650 lbs carrying flesh that sold with a weak to lower undertone. Demand was good to very good for the calves under 600 lbs and the loads of yearlings, the fleshier calves saw moderate demand. Supply was moderate to heavy with several reputation strings on hand. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.
