As filed

Compared to two weeks ago steers under 650 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 650 lbs sold 4.00 lower except 800 lbs sold 2.00 higher. Heifers sold unevenly steady. Not enough slaughter cattle for a market comparison. However, a higher undertone was noted. Demand good. Large crowed of buyers with some internet buying.
