As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves sold steady to 8.00 higher and yearlings sold steady. Heifer calves under 500 lbs sold 10.00-20.00 higher while heavier weights sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good to very good and the quality was excellent with several long strings of reputation cattle and especially some fancy light grazing cattle this week. Supply was heavy.
