As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher with a couple instances sharply higher on 650-800 lb steers. Heifers 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows weak to 5.00 lower. Several groups of unweaned calves showed up this week, many seeing the typical discount but in some instances quality outweighed the health risk entirely. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
