As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 650 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher again and heavier weights sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good for a light to moderate supply, but despite the lighter numbers the quality was attractive with some bigger groups of long-weaned, home raised cattle offered. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 4.00 higher.
