As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady to 7.00 lower, and heifers sold unevenly steady from 2.00 higher to 4.00 lower. Some high quality long weaned groups were included in the offering, but were accompanied by many smaller consignments of unweaned or short weaned calves with many bull calves in the mix. Demand was good on a moderate supply.
