Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers traded unevenly steady, heifers 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. This week's offering was highlighted by a 450 plus head consignment from a local producer, all out of reputation bulls, mostly offered in load lots and large drafts. Several other load and part load lots gave buyers some numbers to work with. Really a healthy market this week given another sharp advance in the corn market Tuesday. Supply heavy, demand good.
