As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 650lbs sold 20.00 to 27.00 higher and heifers under 650lbs were 15.00 to 20.00 higher. Heavier weights were mostly 2.00 to 8.00 higher on steers and heifers. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. With gains on the board throughout the day, improving weather conditions, and plenty of high quality cattle on offer, demand was very good with no shortage of bidders and buyers.
