As filed

Compared to last week the only comparable weights were heifers 650 to 700 lbs. were steady. Other weights of steers and heifers were lower this week due to the low numbers that came to market and no good comparison could be made. Demand was moderate this

week and feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition.
