As filed

Compared to the last reported sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers sold sharply higher, with light calves tacking on mostly 20.00 to 30.00/cwt and heavier weights 10.00 to 15.00/cwt. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. Excellent quality on offer this week including several reputation consignments with most of the unweaned cattle seeing little to no discount. Buyers were aggressive from the start and remained so until the end with several top prices coming later in the day. WIth numbers known to be tight, many ringside wondered aloud just where the ceiling for grazers might be found. Optimism abounds. Supply heavy, demand very good.
