As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. A nice offering of yearlings made up the majority of a moderate supply, but there were some consignments of calves as well; demand was good for both. The warm weather has given a tint of green to pastures and cattle are out picking around, tired of the dry hay. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-5.00 higher.
