No recent value added sale for a comparison, however compared to Monday's regular sale steers under 600lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher and steers over 600lbs sold mostly 3.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifers were mostly 3.00 to 10.00 higher. All cattle consignments today were enrolled in a verified health program that includes shots and weaning and are sold value-added. Demand was good on a high quality supply with lots from many reputation breeders in the area.
