As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers sold steady. No comparison on dairy steers. All classes of slaughter cows sold steady with a weak undertone noted. Buyer demand was moderate on a moderate supply for the slaughter cattle sales. No comparison for the feeder dairy calves due to limited reporter availability.
