As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was good for a moderate supply with a mix of both new crop calves and yearlings offered. Cattle futures made a slight bounce back Thursday after a rough couple weeks. A consignment of reputation yearling steers was a highlight and they were highly sought after at an impressive price despite the recent downturn in the market. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
