As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers sold sharply lower, catching up with the volatility in the cattle sector since the last auction. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 15.00 lower. The calf market was also influenced greatly by health history today with buyers pretty particular about having a full two rounds of shots. Supply and demand moderate.
