As filed

Compared to last week steers over 600 lbs sold 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Most weights of heifers sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower with flat 800 weights trading steady. Demand was moderate from the regular crowd of order and farmer/feeder buyers. Wednesday's sale lower due to the after effects of a sharply lower CME trading early in the week.
