As filed

Compared to a light test last week, steer calves steady to 5.00 lower, heifer calves steady to 3.00 lower, not enough yearlings last week for a price comparison. Slaughter cows and bulls 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand moderate for calves and yearlings, good for slaughter cows and bulls, supply heavy.
