As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 4.00 to 8.00 higher and heifers were unevenly steady from 3.00 lower to 5.00 higher based on limited comparisons. A big run of yearlings and some quality calves this week, but mostly weaned 60 days or less which kept buyers conservative in pushing prices higher. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply.
