As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was moderate for a light supply. The majority of the fall calves have already been marketed and the market has seen a slight downturn following last week's bearish Cattle On Feed report. If there was a decent stretch of dry weather, most producers would like to turn their attention to putting up some hay and finishing up fieldwork. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 higher.
