As filed

Compared to last week the 550 to 650 lb steers sold 9.00 to 14.00 higher and steers 750 to 950 lbs sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher. The 450 to 500 lb heifers sold 10.00 higher and heifers 650 to 900 lbs sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. The higher prices in the light steers and heifers could be attributed to the start of grass season and a some nice light rains. The supply was moderate and the demand was good.
