As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 10.00 to 15.00 higher with the sharpest advances on steer calves. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Several consignments of front end type calves were on offer, spread across a number of active buyers. More sharp losses at the CME Wednesday but it sure didn't have much influence on the local cash trade. Supply moderate, demand good.
