As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady except for some 700-775 lb steers selling up to 5.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 6.00 higher with the advance on those weighing 450-625 lbs. Demand was good for a moderate supply that included several nice strings and loads of home raised calves. Once again, the weather played a factor and prevented some cattle from making it town. A light test of slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.
