As filed

Compared to the sale last week: Too light a test on steers both weeks. No comparison. Choice slaughter heifers 4.00 higher today. No implant and drug free cattle bringing a premium. Reputation group of heavier steers topping the market at 200.25. Most of the sale consisted of smaller strings. Good demand today.
