As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves sold 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Yearling steers and heifers were steady to instances 4 higher. Trade was fairly active on moderate to good demand. After several days of temperatures near the 70's, the area braces for a cold front with hopefully some moisture. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher.
