As filed

There have been no recent comparisons for an accurate trend but steers and heifers sold with a lower undertone with plenty of negative news around putting pressure on the market. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply. The yearling steers saw the best demand. Corn harvest has started this week for some. Slaughter cows sold 10.00-20.00 lower than three weeks ago.
