As filed

Nice run of cattle coming off grass again today. Steers over 650 lbs sold mostly 4.00 to 6.00 higher. There were a lot of spayed heifers again this week, however the spayed heifers sold comparable to the un-spayed heifers. 600 to 800 lb heifers sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher and 800 -850 lb heifers sold steady. The reciepts were moderate and the demand was good.
