As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. A good portion of the feeder offering was load lots of yearlings but some attractive consignments of weaned calves and some home raised yearlings were brought to town as well. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Scattered rains and the fact that producers have already culled so hard seems to have finally caught up at least for now and although a very nice run of cattle, it was a much more seasonal offering than the large numbers seen the last few months. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher, bulls 3.00-5.00 higher.
