As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Demand moderate to good for calves, moderate to light for slaughter cows and bulls, supply moderate. Producers concern with the amount of forage they have going into the winter as the trade area is abnormally dry for this time of the year.
