As filed

Compared to the last tested market four weeks ago, steers sold 6.00 to 8.00 lower and heifers steady to weak. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Pretty light run again this week but the offering did include a good test of yearling steers with four pot load lots available. Demand moderate.
