As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves traded either side of steady. Heavy yearlings, on a better comparison with 4 weeks ago, were sharply higher, a full 8.00 to 10.00 than comparable load lots a month ago. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher on a heavy supply. Lots of unweaned cattle in town this week as feed prices continue to climb and spring has been to slow (and muddy) to start. Supply and demand moderate.
