As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows sharply higher. Quality and condition ran up and down throughout the sale but overall demand was good. Buyers were active and ready to fill some orders after an extended break due to some extreme weather conditions. Supply moderate.
