As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher except steer calves under 500 lbs trading sharply 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows mostly 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Lots of unweaned calves in town this week but in most cases, the outstanding quality outweighed the health risks and discounts were marginal. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
