As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifer sold mostly steady, firm in spots. Demand was good for a moderate supply. It's starting to feel pretty dry for the end of April and a shower would sure be welcomed. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady except for the higher dressing kind up to 3.00 higher.
