As filed

Compared to last week, the majority of steers sold steady to 5.00 higher except for the middle weights weighing 650-750 lbs gaining back last week's losses and selling 5.00-8.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower except for some heifer calves under 500 lbs selling 8.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good to very good with most of the offering still being long weaned yearlings in attractive condition, but these type of cattle will be harder and harder to find with each passing week now. Supply was moderate compared to the large runs of the last several weeks.
