As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold 5.00-10.00 higher and heifers sold mostly steady except for some hard weaned heifers weighing around 450 lbs selling 10.00 higher. A few bigger consignments of long weaned grazing type cattle highlighted the feeder offering and found very good demand. Several new crop calves saw good demand as well. Supply was moderate to light. Some showers and storms around this week along with warm weather sure has it feeling and looking like spring. Slaughter cows sold 6.00-10.00 higher.
