As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers under 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher and heavier weights firm to 2.00 lower. Heifers sold weak to 5.00 lower after the sharp upswing at the most recent sale. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Overall a pretty light test of the market this week with a high percentage of single head lots and very small packages selling alongside the handful of load lots. Buyers were still aggressive but picked their spots a little closer this week with certain orders limited by availability and quality. Supply light, demand moderate to good.
