As filed

Compared to the last sale four weeks ago, steers under 650 lbs and all weights of heifers traded mostly 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Steers over 650 lbs sold firm to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Trade was very active throughout the day as the local cash trade quickly caught up with the surging feeder market with a few weights trading sharply higher, particularly 400-450 lb steers and some 5 wt heifers. Buyers didn't take long to get comfortable but the sale really heated up by mid day as the larger strings of cattle made their way into the ring. Quality was outstanding and demand very good for both calves and yearlings. Supply heavy.
