Nice offering of cattle coming off grass today. Steers over 750 lbs sold un-even from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Heifers over 600 lbs. sold un-even from 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher. There were 750 head of spayed heifers that brought a premium price today. The receipts were moderate to heavy with good demand. Expecting to see more grass cattle in the coming weeks.
