As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves under 500 lbs sold sharply higher and those weighing 500-750 lbs sold 10.00-20.00 higher. Demand was very good for a heavy supply of mostly home raised reputation strings of cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower.
