As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with most of the gain on those weighing 500-575 lbs. Demand was good for a moderate supply of good quality calves and a few packages of attractive yearlings. Finally, some dry weather has allowed for field work again and the beginning of hay season. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 higher, bulls steady.
