Pretty slim comparisons to the last sale two weeks ago but steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter cows 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Pretty light supply this week beyond two straight loads of yearlings and a couple part loads of steers weighing either side of 600 lbs as numbers continue to grow tight. Demand moderat to good.
