As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 750 lbs and heifers weighing 600-800 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower. Steers under 750 lbs and heifers under 600 lbs and over 800 lbs not enough for market test. Good demand for a light supply, and very good demand for several full loads of nice steers coming off grass.
