As filed

On a lighter test steers sold mostly 7.00 to 9.00 higher. Heifers under 750 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher and heifers over 750 lbs sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher. It is raining today and we had a good turnout for the sale. The buyers are anxious to fill their grass orders and I think it is showing up in the prices. There seems to be good demand and the supply is lighter than we would expect for this time of year.
