As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves sold unevenly steady from 5.00 higher to 3.00 lower, and heifers sold with an unevenly steady undertone based on few weight comparisons. Demand was moderate to light on a light run this week after long awaited rains over the weekend and beginning of the week left some producers in the area with flooding and muddy conditions.
