As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers under 650 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone, heavier steers and all weights of heifers 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Trade was active with a couple extra buyers in the seats after an extended break. A couple reputation consignments highlighted the sale, some weights reaching prices we haven't seen in quite some time. Receipts were curtailed by the muddy conditions after snow and ice blanketed the area for a couple weeks. Supply light, demand good.
