As filed

Compared to last Thursday receipts were light due to much needed rain and demand was light to moderate. On a light test steers were 1.00 to 5.00 higher with the exception of 500 to 550 and 600 to 700 lb steers selling 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Heifers were steady to 5.00 higher with under 600 lbs not having enough comparable sales for a test.
