As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves 2.00 to 5.00 lower, yearlings not well tested. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 2.00 lower, slaughter bulls steady. Demand moderate, supply light. A Heat Advisory across the trade area and Excessive Heat Warning across the mid-west curtailed the receipts and demand.
