As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers of all weights traded sharply higher, mostly 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Excellent quality this week with the bulk of the cattle on offer 600-750 lbs. Demand was very good for grazing type cattle and more moderate for anything headed straight to the feedlot as grains continue to climb daily. Buyers established a trading range early and the market maintained strength until late in the day. A couple groups of heifers were bought for replacement with one reputation consignment in particular bringing an impressive price at nearly $1150 per head. Supply heavy.
