As filed

Compared to last week, based on a light test, calves and yearlings sold mostly steady. Supply was light following the holiday weekend but a load of 8 weight steers was on hand along with several smaller groups of yearlings and a few calves. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower.
