As filed

Compared to last week most steers sold steady to 2.00 higher with the exception of 600 to 650 lb steers that sold 8.00 lower and 800 to 850 lb steers that sold 5.00 lower. The heifers sold steady to 3.00 lower with the exception of 500 to 550 lb heifers that sold 2.00 higher and 550 to 600 lb heifers that sold 8.00 higher. A nice offering of grass ready steers and heifers today. The receipts were moderate to heavy with good demand.
