As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and heifers sold 5.00 to 9.00 higher. Fly-weight steers and heifers sold 10.00 to 11.00 higher. Demand was good from start to finish. Bulk of the sale consisted of top quality, long and thick made calves. Most calves had precondition shots with large percentage of the offering longtime weaned. Next Friday, December 11, will be a Special Bred Heifer and Cow sale.
