As filed

Compared to the same sale last week, Slaughter cows steady. Slaughter bulls not well established last week. Steers under 700 lbs 5.00 to 12.00 higher, over 700 lbs steady. Heifers under 600 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Bulls mostly steady. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good.
