As filed

Compared to last week, the best test of steers weighing 500lbs to 750lbs sold 8.00 to 23.00 higher. Heifers of the same weights sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady to 5.00 higher based on few comparisons with last week's light run. A better run of high quality calves and yearlings were in town this week despite the lingering summer heat. Demand was good on a moderate supply.
