As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower on similar type and kind, with most of the cattle on offer this week carrying significantly more flesh than the previous sale. Slaughter cows sharply lower, mostly 8.00 to 10.00, catching up with the sharp losses in the slaughter cow market the last 10 days. Light supply this week ahead of the April grass special two weeks from now. Demand moderate.
