As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 7.00 to 12.00 lower. Lightweight heifers under 450lbs sold with a steady undertone, and heavier weights over 450lbs sold 8.00 to 15.00 lower. Quality this week was much less attractive than last week's sale for the majority of the offering, with many unweaned or short weaned calves in town. Demand was moderate to light on a moderate supply.
