As filed

Compared to the sale 2 weeks ago, (no sale last week due to heavy snow and sub-zero temperatures), steers under 600 lbs. traded 9.00-15.00 higher, with steers over 600 lbs. trading 3.00-4.00 higher. Demand was very good for large lots of quality cattle. A lot of 96 head of 512 lb. steers traded at 192.00. Heifers under 600 lbs. traded 5.00-12.00 higher, with weights over 600 lbs. trading up to 3.00 higher. Not enough bulls to establish a trend. Supply was moderate with demand good to very good. Bidding was active with a good crowd on hand.
