As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly 12.00 to 25.00 higher, with spots of heifers and steers weighing 550lbs to 650lbs selling up to 32.00 higher. A high quality supply this week with many groups of weaned and unweaned calves, and some nice groups of yearlings. Demand was very good on a moderate supply.
