Compared to a slight down turn two weeks ago, steers sold 8.00 to 15.00 higher and heifers 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Pretty balanced offering of calves and yearlings this week including a half dozen loads of backgrounded cattle, all from longtime reputation producers. Cows continue to come to town in droves as drought conditions persist and cattlemen continue to trim their herds. Supply moderate, demand good.
