As filed

Compared to the last reported market four weeks ago, steers and heifers traded sharply lower with the best comparison being load lots of yearling steers selling 20.00 to 25.00 lower. Slaughter cows 15.00 to 20.00 lower. Bulk of the offering consisted of the previously mentioned load lots with the rest of the offering coming in smaller drafts as extreme heat slowed cattle movement. Supply and demand moderate.
