As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves 5.00 to 7.00 lower, yearlings not well tested. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 1.00 higher. Demand and supply moderate. The bulk of the calves un-weaned or short weaned with few respiratory vaccinations. The trade area remains dry and stock water becoming a concern for producers.
