As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago both steers and heifers were not well compared. Demand was very good today and included active internet bidding. Supply was moderate and included four consignors that brought more than 400 head of reputation cattle. Several strings of eight- and nine-weight steers coming off the grass were offered today.
