As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers under 650 lbs and heifers under 550 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher, steers over 650 lbs not well tested, heifers over 550 lbs steady on a limited test. Slaughter cows steady on a light test, slaughter bulls not well tested. Demand good, supply light. The wet, muddy conditions continue to curtail receipts.
