As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale on a light run today slaughter cows and bulls steady instances 2.00 higher, mostly stocker cows going back to feed or rebreds. Few calves mostly heifers not enough for a good market test. Demand moderate to good with several buyers in attendance. More numbers expected next week.
