As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to spots 5.00 lower on the steers. Supply and demand were moderate. A large offering of slaughter cows sold mostly steady except for lean cows selling 5.00-8.00 higher on increased demand. Several of the cows came to town open, young and old, a result of the dry summer in several areas.
