As filed

Compared to a more accurate comparison from two weeks ago, steers and heifers under 625 lbs sold 3.00-10.00 higher but with several instances of 15.00-20.00 higher on steers under 525 lbs and heifers under 475 lbs. The quality and condition of the cattle moved some price levels to new highs for the year as a really nice offering of reputation consignments in thin condition made for a very active market with grass close. Cattle futures have been supportive this week and the outside economic concerns have calmed. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
