As filed

Compared to last week: Steers and heifers mostly steady, however those cattle lacking vaccinations or were short weaned sold to limited demand. Demand beginning to decline as summer's heat and humidity rise. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 8.00 higher. Packer demand good.
