As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers over 600 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher with instances of sharply higher. Demand was good from the buyers in the seats with internet activity noticed. The consignment sheet of weaned and vaccinated steers and heifers was shorter than expected due to winter weather covering much of the trade area over night and during the morning hours.
