As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Great weather for working and transporting cattle brought a heavy supply to town, everything from grazers to yearlings with all manner of health history. Demand was still best for those long time weaned with two rounds of shots but some of the best quality cattle on offer this week were straight off the cow. Supply heavy, demand moderate to good.
