As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold with a higher undertone noted although not well compared. Nearly all the load lots were from two consignors who brought more than 500 head of eight-, nine-, and ten-weight steers. Demand was good today and included active internet bidding. Supply was moderate and included several load lots.
