As filed

Compared to last week, a light test this week with a group of 537 lb steers and 522 lb heifers along with a pot load of 919 steers selling steady and all other weights lightly tested. Monday's offering was light due to the extreme heat as temperatures approached the 100 degree mark through the trade area and calling for more high temperatures for most of the week. Slaughter cows were mostly boning and lean cows selling 2.00-5.00 lower, spots 8.00 lower on a light test of high dressing breaking cows.
