As filed

Compared to the most accurate test of the market from three weeks ago, steers under 650 lbs sold steady to spots up to 8.00 higher with most of the gain on the 550-625 weight range while heavier steers traded mostly steady. Heifers sold steady to spots 5.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate to heavy supply. The quality was attractive all day with most of the consignments reputation type cattle that had been pre-conditioned. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 8.00-12.00 higher.
