As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers under 700 lbs sold 6.00 to 8.00 higher, heavier weights 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifers under 550 lbs 4.00 to 7.00 higher, heavier weights steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. A sharp improvement in the cash feeder market this week with lots of high quality consignments of both calves and yearlings on offer. Several local farmers and backgrounders were in the seats still trying to put together some grass cattle which made for an active market. Supply heavy, demand good to very good.
