As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher with 500-650 lb cattle trading sharply higher. Slaughter cows steady. Cash feeder trade really heated up this week on a good quality offering and some renewed optimism. Trade was especially active for those midweight grazing type cattle with most in good condition. Packers paid up a little this week, setting the top so far for 2021 with some northern trade reported up to 126.50. Supply moderate, demand good to very good.
