As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, Steers trended steady. Heifers under 700 trended steady with heifers over 700 trending higher, 850-900 pound heifers trended 15.00-20.00 higher. With the well-timed rains there was a full barn with a good set of buyers in the seats and an active internet bid. Most cattle were preconditioned and weaned. A few of the lighter calves were fresh off the cow. Next Preconditioned sale will be Monday May 18th.
