Nice offering of cattle today, lots of nice big strings from single ranches. The cattle are coming off grass, and it shows in their condition. Steers 750 to 900 lbs. sold mostly 2.00 to 5.00 higher and 950 lbs steers sold 12.00 higher. Heifers 750 to 900 lbs. sold mostly 2.00 to 5.00 higher. The receipts were moderate to heavy with good demand.
