As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Once again, a mix of both new crop calves and long weaned yearlings were on offer with a couple large consignments on the yearling side. The dry weather has been conducive to moving cattle and with warmer weather on the way farmers will be busy in the fields pretty quick. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher, bulls steady.
