As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 600lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher, and steers over 600lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifers under 600lbs were 15.00 to 25.00 higher and heifers over 600lbs sold 5.00 to 9.00 higher. Demand was very good on a heavy supply after the lighter runs of the past few weeks due to the cold and icy weather conditions.
