Compared to two weeks ago, steers under 600 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher, spots as much as 20.00 higher, steers over 600 lbs 4.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifers 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Definitely some new interest in grazing type cattle this week, even with fresh snow on the ground and sub zero temperatures, but the most optimistic among us are betting on an up market come spring. Quality and condition were excellent throughout the sale and a solid day at the Board didn't hurt anybody's feelings either. Demand good to very good, supply light to moderate.
