As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly 5.00-10.00 higher except for 600-700 lb steers that were a hot ticket item last sale trading steady, and on the other side of things steers weighing 400-500 lbs sold sharply higher than two weeks ago when demand was hampered by the winter storm. Heifer calves sold 5.00-15.00 higher and yearlings steady. Demand was good to very good for a heavy supply. Producers were ready to market cattle and buyers were ready to get back to business after a tough couple weeks of winter weather impacted sales. The quality of the cattle was very good with many long strings of home raised reputation calves and some square loads of yearlings. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-5.00 higher.
