As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 600lbs sold mostly 3.00 to 8.00 higher, and heavier weights sold mostly steady. Heifers sold with a steady undertone. Supply was light, and demand was good for high quality weaned cattle, and light for cattle needing extra attention in the hot summer temperatures.
