As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold 4.00 to 7.00 higher with spots up to 10.00 higher and feeder heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. More large groups of high quality reputation cattle sold this week than we have seen in the offerings of the past few weeks and created an active market with very good demand.
