As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers over 550 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher, with some spots as much as 15.00 higher, mostly on cattle weighing 650-750 lbs. A weaker undertone was noted on lighter calves, partially due to limited availability and no doubt influenced by current weather conditions. Slaughter cows 9.00 to 10.00 higher. The local cash trade took a pretty nice bounce for this first sale back after a couple winter storms forced multiple cancellations and postponements. Buyers were ready to get back to business and had some really high quality strings of cattle to work with throughout the day. Supply moderate to heavy, demand moderate to good.
