As filed

Compared to last week steers 500 to 700 lbs sold mixed 2.00 higher to 2.00 lower and steers over 750 lbs sold mixed 4.00 higher to 3.00 lower. The 600 to 700 lb heifers sold steady to 2.00 higher and 700 to 800 lb heifers sold mostly 9.00 higher. Heifers over 800 lbs. sold steady. The receipts were heavy and the demand was good. The buyers are still feeling optimistic about the grass season. The ground is still wet and there is rain in the forecast for the weekend.
