As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers under 900 lbs. sold mostly steady to sharply higher while 900 to 950 lb. steers sold 5.00 lower. Heifers mostly sold with a higher undertone noted although not well compared. Demand was very good today and included active internet bidding. Supply was moderate to heavy and included several load lots of eight-weight steers. Two consignors brought nearly 400 head.
