As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 650 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Limited price comparison last week on 650-800 lb steers with a sharply higher market noted. Over 800 lb steers were steady to 2.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand good to very good on moderate supply. Offering today included a good run of quality stockers and feeders. An abundance of moisture in the area the past couple weeks has played havoc with transporting cattle and more is forecasted for the weekend.
