As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 6.00 higher with spots 10.00-12.00 higher on calves under 525 lbs following last weeks slightly weaker market for grazing calves. Buyers were more active this week as the overall quality was more attractive and uniform. Demand was good to very good at price levels previous to the coronavirus scare. Supply was moderate. The weather has continued to prevent some cattle from making it to town. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher, but with spots up to 5.00 higher on higher dressing kind.
