As filed

Compared to last week, steers 600 lbs to 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher and 500 lbs heifers sold 2.00 to 10.00 higher. There was a good amount of unweaned cattle, but if they are good cattle that are vaccinated there isn't much of a discount. The receipts were up from last week with good demand. The second Special Calf Sale of the season will be held next Tuesday.
