As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher with steer calves under 550 lbs sharply higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. This week's offering covered a wide range of stock, from fall calves to several loads of true yearlings. Several unweaned cattle on offer but not many discounts were evident. Supply moderate, demand good.
