As filed

Compared to the last tested market four weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with a few instances sharply higher. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. The first sale of 2023 did not disappoint as string after string of reputation cattle made their way through the ring, most weaned with a solid health history. Supply heavy, demand moderate.
