As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 8.00 higher with spots up to 12.00 higher. A high quality run of long weaned and vaccinated cattle this week that created good demand on a moderate to heavy supply. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady on a moderate supply with moderate demand.
