As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold unevenly steady, from 7.00 lower to 12.00 higher. The best comparison of 400lb-600lb heifers sold mostly 12.00 to 25.00 higher. Many groups of unweaned calves this week, but mostly good quality with attractive condition that created good demand on a moderate supply.
