As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with spots up to 8.00 higher on the loads based on limited sales of yearlings last week. The higher quality heifer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Several loads and groups of attractive yearlings were offered along with some large consignments of fancy calves. Demand was good to very good and the quality of the cattle was excellent. Trade was active and a full house of buyers were on hand. Supply was moderate to heavy. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-2.00 lower.
