As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold 5.00 to 25.00 higher with the most advance on 600-700 lb steers. Heifers under 550 lbs steady, heavier weights 15.00 to 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Really good quality on hand for this last sale of the year, with several smaller reputation strings and some decent sized lots of buyers to build around. Supply moderate, demand good.
