As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows weak to 3.00 lower. Overall quality slightly below average and more unweaned calves starting to show up this week. With overnight lows expected to dip down into the 40s the next couple nights, demand was light to at best moderate for unweaned cattle and moderate for weaned and worked offerings. Supply light.
