As filed

Compare to last sale steers and heifers under 450 lbs were 7.00 to 20.00 higher, steers and heifers 450 to 850 lbs were 2.00 to 7.00 higher with steers over 850 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 lower and heifers over 850 lbs 1.50 higher. The supply was lighter due to the large weaned and vaccinated sale that took place on Tuesday with a moderate demand.
