As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers traded in an uneven manner with very few true comparisons available. The cash market was very spotty with some six weight steers trading 10.00 to 15.00 higher but other spots, particularly in some heifer calves under 550 lbs, trading sharply lower. Slaughter cows were also uneven, from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Several loads of yearlings were on offer and held up pretty well despite the wild ride the futures have taken this week, with one string of 229 head of 731 lb heifers bringing 225.10/cwt. Outside of the yearling load lots, there was a little bit of everything but not a lot of any one thing, and with overall less attractive quality on hand, buyers had to stretch at times to fill their orders. Supply and demand moderate.
