As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady despite not quite reaching some of the highs achieved on last week's bigger run. However, some replacement quality heifers sold with a higher undertone with a square load of 665 lb heifers @ 442.5 particularly impressive. Supply was moderate and included some stand out consignments of grazing cattle that are still finding excellent demand as grass buyers finish up. Overall, demand was good. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower, bulls 2.00-4.00 higher.
