As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 600lbs sold with a steady undertone, and heavier weights sold mostly 5.00 to 12.00 higher based on limited yearling comparisons from last week's sale. Heifers sold with a steady undertone also based on limited comparisons. A good run of yearlings this week with many groups of longer weaned cattle than we have seen in a while, and quite a few nice groups of weaned and unweaned calves. Demand was good on a moderate to heavy supply.
