As filed

Compared to last week, steers 450 to 800 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, too few steer calves under 450 lbs last week for a good price comparison, undertone higher, over 800 lbs not well tested, undertone lower, heifers 2.00 to 8.00 higher, except 500 weights steady.

Demand good, supply moderate.
