As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold unevenly steady from 2.00 higher to 3.00 lower. Heifers under 550lbs sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher and heifers over 550lbs were steady to 2.00 higher. Supply was moderate with mostly small drafts of plain type cattle on offer but still some quality groups of long weaned and vaccinated cattle created good demand.
