As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 600lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher, with spots of 5 weight steers up to 12.00 higher. Steers over 600lbs had few to compare to last week but sold with a steady to firm undertone. Heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher with spots up to 13.00 higher. This was a value added yearling special sale, and customer appreciation day, and many large groups of high quality cattle were on offer. Demand was very good with plenty of buyers in house and on the phone to fill loads throughout the day.
