As filed

Compared to last week; steer and heifer calves traded 3.00 to 5.00 higher on package trade and half loads. Load lots traded 10.00 higher. A very nice large offering today with several long strings on large consignments from around the region. Several new buyers in the seats today with active bidding on all classes. Also a very active internet with many new buyers. A very large offering with CME futures moving higher. Sale again next Wednesday.
