As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady with moderate to good demand, but 3 loads of yearling steers coming off grass highlighted the sale and sold with good demand but there have been no similar sales recently for an accurate trend. Supply was light. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-10.00 lower.
