As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher, spots up to 10.00 higher, and heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 6.00 to 8.00 lower. Good demand across all weights of cattle this week on a very active market. Quality was very attractive throughout the day and cattle were spread across a large number of buyers. Supply moderate.
