As filed

Compared to a better test of the market from two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was good for a moderate supply with most of the feeder offering being fancy new crop calves coming in off the cow. A load of yearling steers was offered as well. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower.
