As filed

Not very many true comparisons to the last sale two weeks ago, with sales ranging from 5.00 lower to 4.00 higher, greatly dependent on quality, condition and lot size. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower. Several load lots of mostly backgrounded heifers were met with good demand, with a couple groups of 7 wt heifers trading at what one would surely guess to be breeding price when in fact they were all feedlot bound. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
