As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 10.00-25.00 higher with the full gain on the 600-725 lb weight range and heifers sold firm to 10.00 higher except for the 600-625 lb weight range selling 20.00 higher. Demand was very good, trade was active and buyers were aggressive for a moderate supply with the quality and condition attractive on most consignments. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
