As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Some up and down trade this week as quality and condition ran the gamut throughout the day. Some top quality grazing steers weighing from 550-600 lbs sold as much 7.00 higher but few other weight classes were able to push the market past the highest prices from two weeks ago. Supply heavy and demand moderate.
