As filed

Compared to last week, the majority of steers and heifers sold 3.00-10.00 higher but there were several instances of 15.00-20.00 higher. Some larger groups of mid-weight grazing type cattle set the tone for the higher market early in the day. Demand was good to very good for a moderate to heavy supply. There have been several bullish factor's lately that continue to push these calf and feeder prices higher but none more than the fact that there are less cattle in the country. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
