As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs 10.00-25.00 higher on a light test. Feeder steers over 600 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher. The offering consisted mostly of calves except for a couple consignments of yearling steers. The cattle market continues to set new amazing all-time highs every week. Demand very good and supply light.
