As filed

Compared to the auction last week, 600 lb steers were 4.00 - 6.00 higher, 800 lb yearlings were fully steady. 600 lb. heifers 7.00 to 9.00 higher. Great offering today of "green" yearling cattle in load lots.

High quality, reputation feeder calves were available today. Supply was moderate. Demand was very good. Trade was active.
