As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady, with instances sharply higher on long time weaned and vaccinated calves. Feeder steers and heifers have no accurate comparison. Slaughter cows remained steady with slaughter bulls selling 1.00 higher. Trade active, demand good.
