As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to weak, except some light 4 weight heifers that traded with a sharply higher undertone. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 8.00 higher. Pretty light run this week with the feeder offering consisting of mostly smaller consignments of varying quality and condition. Supply light, demand moderate, good in spots.
