As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers under 550 lbs steady to weak, heavier weights 3.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. The cash trade at the local barn shrugged off the early week volatility in the futures market as well as tariff talk with most weights and classes easily reaching and surpassing the market tops from the last auction. Supply moderate, demand good.
