As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher and heifers mostly steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 8.00 lower. Pretty solid market this week with most weights tacking on some gains, most more modest than last week, although 550-600 lb heifers did trade 10.00 to 15.00 higher. With the exception of a few stick out consignments, quality wasn't quite as attractive as last week. Demand moderate to good, supply moderate.
