As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves steady, no recent test of yearlings for a price comparison. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower, bulls 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Demand and supply moderate. Several loads of reputation yearlings in the offering that attracted the interest of several Buyers.
