As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 7.00 higher with a few instances 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Wide variety of type and kind as well as quality and condition this week. The sale got off to a strong start but really turned on midday as the top quality consignments and larger drafts made their way through the ring. Supply moderate, demand good.
