As filed

Compared to the last reported sale three weeks ago, the majority of steers sold steady to 7.00 higher with spots up to 10.00 higher on the 600-700 lb steers. Heifers sold steady. Demand was good for a heavy supply and overall the quality was attractive for the first sale of the year with favorable conditions to move cattle. Slaughter cows sold mostly a full 10.00 higher when compared to three weeks ago.
