As filed

Very slim comparisons to the last tested market four weeks ago. A few similar sales of steers under 600 lbs were 5.00 to 10.00 higher, heavier weight steers and all heifers weak to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 6.00 to 8.00 lower. Very different mix this week than the last reported sale which was the Annual BBQ Special, but several sizeable strings of cattle gave buyers something to build around. Supply light to moderate, demand moderate.
