As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers mostly 5.00 to 7.00 higher with some spots sharply higher, gaining back all of the losses from two weeks ago and then some. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. The offering included a number of unweaned consignments but most sold without any heavy discounts. Several loads and part loads of yearling heifers were also on offer and met with excellent demand. A very welcome rain fell throughout the day, covering a good portion of the trade area. Supply heavy, demand good to very good.
