As filed

Compared to last week: Steers were 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Most other classes didn't have enough comparable trades from the previous week, but a firm undertone was noted. Several groups traded with a good quality and a strong demand. Excessive heat has continued this week with temperatures still mostly exceeding the 100-degree mark causing dry conditions.
