As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady. Supply was light, affected by the muddy conditions but a large consignment of yearling steers still made their way to town and highlighted the sale. Some accompanying consignments of quality yearlings made for some nice groups for buyers to put together. Demand was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls sold firm to 3.00 higher.
