As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady to 5.00 higher, and heifers were 6.00 - 12.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a light supply. Long awaited rain fell across the Ozarks this weekend and improved some moisture concerns in the area as ponds re-filled and fall pastures have a chance to green up.
