As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 10.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply. The majority of the offering consisted of un-weaned new crop calves of good quality. There were very few long weaned calves to push some of the top price ranges from last week and with the volatility in the stock market and cattle futures the trend has been lower this week, but the cash market for the calves and feeders held up pretty well. Slaughter cows sold uneven from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher.
