As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers traded 10.00 to 15.00 higher, spots 20.00 higher, and heifers mostly 3.00 to 5.00 higher, with a few instances as much as 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand was good for this first sale of 2024 with a large pool of active buyers and some good sized strings of cattle to build around. Supply heavy.
