As filed

Compared to the last test market four weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher with the full advance on yearling steers. Slaughter cows steady. Several bigger strings of cattle were on offer in addition to the loads, allowing buyers some flexibility when putting their orders together. Condition was very attractive throughout the day and quality was above average as well. Demand good, supply moderate to heavy.
