As filed

Compared to last weeks sale; Steer calves sold lower except for 400-500 lbs being higher. No comparable feeder steer or heifer sales and heifers calves sold steady-lower. Trade and demand were moderate on similar numbers. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 6.00 lower. Excellent buyer attendance..
