As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 7.00 lower, with a few light heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Slightly atypical offering this week as the cattle covered a wide range of type, kind, quality and condition which was reflected in some wide price spreads. However when the cattle were just right, weaned with all the shots and in the desired weight range, some buyers were still willing to pay a nice premium. Supply and demand moderate.
