As filed

Compared to last week steers under 650 lbs sold steady, over 650 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher, instances 9.00 higher on a flat 650 weight steer. Heifers under 750 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 750 lbs sold fully steady. Demand was good throughout the day. Several of Wednesday consignments displayed some mud as pen conditions are in poor shape due to early week rain and melting snow. Most buyers looked away on the pounds of mud they were bidding on and just filled buy orders throughout the day.
