Compared to the sale two weeks ago: Choice slaughter steers were steady, with heavyweights bringing 1.00-4.00 higher. Dairy steers 1.00-2.00 higher today. Dairy beef steers on an upward trend, but not enough numbers last sale for comparison. Choice slaughter heifers steady to 2.00 lower. Load lot of choice steers and many smaller strings in the offering today. With rain a constant in our area, no field work is being done. Trailers were lined up unloading cattle today, and the arena was full. Good demand.
