As filed

Compared to the more accurate test from two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold firm to 5.00 higher with spots up to 10.00 higher on midweight heifers weighing 550-615 lbs. Demand was good for a nice run of yearlings, weaned calves and new crop calves with noticeably more spring born calves coming to town this week. Many from producers who are short on feed resources and need to save what they have for their cows. Supply was moderate and included several loads of yearlings and larger groups of pre-conditioned fall born calves. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
