As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady with the exception of six loads of 9 wt yearlings trading 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Lots of hay down in the area and several area farmers are finishing up planting as well during this dry stretch. Good demand for the yearling cattle with all the loads absorbed by two buyers. Supply moderate.
