As filed

Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Trade activity was light to moderate on moderate demand. There remains a wide price spread for weaned and vaccinated calves versus their counterparts as buyers try to avoid sickness in the Fall months. Slaughter cows and bulls were 3.00 to 5.00 lower.
