As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold 5.00-15.00 higher with the full advance on those under 650 lbs. Heifers sold 3.00-8.00 higher. Demand was good for a heavy supply of mostly long weaned, reputation cattle for the 32nd anniversary sale to start the year. Slaughter cows sold steady.
