As filed

Compared to last week steers over 700 lbs sold mixed 3.00 higher to 3.00 lower. Lighter classes of steers had too few for a good comparison due to last week's lighter sale numbers. On the heifers, due to the lighter sale numbers last week, there was no good comparison, however a higher tone was noted on the heifers over 700 lbs. The receipts were moderate with good demand.
