As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 600 lbs sold 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher and heifers over 600 lbs sold 20.00 higher, with a couple instances of sharply higher. Steer and heifers under 600 lbs, not enough sold for market test. Boning utility sold steady to 2.00 higher while Breaker and Lean utility sold 5.00 lower. Large, good quality, multi-vaccinated lots from reputation breeders brought higher prices while the fleshy lots did not. Very good demand for heavy supply.
