As filed

Again a lot of unweaned cattle coming to town however, buyers do not seem to mind as long as they have good genetics and a good shot program. Compared to last week steers 600 to 800 lbs sold mostly 7.00 to 10.00 higher and 800 to 950 lbs steers sold mostly 6.00 lower. The heifers under 700 lbs sold mostly 3.00 to 4.00 higher and 800 to 900 lb heifers sold in a range of 2.00 higher to 2.00 lower. The receipts were moderate with good demand.
