As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, yearling load lots traded 4.00 to 5.00 lower with slim comparisons on other weights. Slaughter cows sharply lower. Several really nice consignments on offer this week including several load and part load lots with nearly all the cattle available long time weaned which will be harder to come by as the fall run approaches. Supply moderate, demand good.
