As filed

Compared to last week steers and heifers over 600 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. The unweaned cattle are showing up in town, If they are good cattle with shots they are not seeing much discount. The receipts were light with good demand. I would expect some of the calves that were not here today will be here Tuesday for the first Special Calf Sale of the Season.
