Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, based on light comparisons, steers and heifers sold steady to 10.00 higher. Demand was good for the Annual Customer Appreciation Sale on New Years Day with the current World Champion Auctioneer helping sell. Supply was moderate to heavy with mostly reputation strings of cattle offered and the quality was attractive. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher.
