As filed

Another nice run of cattle coming off grass this week. Steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs too few for a good test, however a lower undertone was detected. Steers over 700 lbs. sold 5.00 to 9.00 lower and heifers over 700 lbs sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower. The receipts were average with good demand.
