As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 8.00 lower with the exception of a few scattered weights trading steady. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 lower but a handful of slaughter bulls sold sharply higher. The offering wasn't without some top notch reputation consignments, but a little different mix this week with overall quality not as attractive and the highs of last week's sharp upswing just out of reach. Supply light, demand moderate to good.
