As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher with a few instances of sharply higher trade on steer calves under 550 lbs. Heifers under 600 lbs fully 10.00 to 15.00 higher, heavier heifers firm. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Several larger consignments of cattle made for pretty swift work this week. Quality and condition was mostly attractive but some were, not surprisingly, carrying some mud. Outside economic concerns didn't seem to hold much sway, particularly for any grazing type cattle. The ringside dynamic was a little different this week with a few buyers not in their regular seats but still represented by proxy. Supply moderate, demand good to very good.
