As filed

Compared to the last reported sale three weeks ago, lightweight steer and heifer calves sold with a sharply higher undertone, and steers and heifers over 500lbs sold 7.00 to 15.00 higher. Demand was very good, with plenty of bidders and buyers in town, on a heavy supply of good quality calves and yearlings after a couple weeks of extreme winter weather, and few sales in session in the area.
