As filed

Due to weather last week there was not enough for a good test on steer cattle, however a higher undertone was noted. On the heifers 550 to 600 and 700 to 750 lb heifers sold 7.00 to 8.00 higher and 750 to 800 lb heifers sold 6.00 higher. The demand was good with moderate to heavy receipts. The heavier receipts being partly due to the weather last Thursday.
