As filed

Compared to the Annual BBQ Sale held three weeks ago, steers and heifers traded 1.00 to 3.00 lower, except some yearling steers trading 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows unevenly steady. Pretty quiet day at the local barn with most producers in the area hard at it in the hayfield. The offering was highlighted by three loads of backgrounded yearling steers which were met with very good demand. Supply moderate.
