Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers under 650 sold 8.00-15.00 higher and those over 650 lbs sold steady. Heifers traded steady to 3.00 higher. Supply was moderate. Demand was good to very good for the higher quality weaned calves in attractive condition to graze and moderate for the yearling cattle and some groups of shorter weaned or un-weaned calves that were carrying some flesh. Grass buyers are gearing up for spring and were aggressive in gathering their grazers. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-4.00 higher.
