As filed

Compared to last week: Steers 3.00-8.00 higher. Heifers 10.00-20.00 higher, instances sharply higher. Demand very good for all classes with active trade. Heavy rains in the area the past week reduced receipts some. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower in a light test. Slaughter bulls mostly steady. Demand moderate for cows.

Slaughter cattle
