As filed

Compared to last week, all weights of steers and heifer calves sold 5.00-15.00 higher while yearling heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was good to very good for a moderate supply. Last week's higher cash fed cattle trade has given a boost to the yearling market. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 5.00 higher.
