Compared to two weeks ago steers sold 1.00 to 5.00 higher with flat 700 weights trading 8.00 higher. Heifers sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and bulls sold 1.00 higher. Wide variety of kind, quality and flesh throughout the day. A lot more cattle showed up to the sale than previous advertised. Demand was good from start to finish with a large crowd of buyers. Several buyer numbers were passed out to new buyers throughout the day in house and on the internet. Next week will be a special slaughter cattle auction. Two weeks, May 6th will be a Special Calf and Feeder Auction.
