As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers traded 7.00 to 11.00 lower. The bulk of the offering consisted of four loads of heavy weight steers, which traded 7.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Lots of unweaned calves in the offering this week, many off the cow shortly before sale time. Weigh up average to full for most consignments. Only one direction for cattle futures recently as the board was unable to hold on to early session gains. Supply moderate, demand light to moderate, with some weights and classes trading as much as 20.00 lower by the end of the day, catching up with the losses in the calf market the past few weeks.
