As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 3.00 to 8.00 higher with spots up to 12.00 higher. Heifers under 500lbs sold with a weak undertone, and heifers over 500lbs were mostly 3.00 to 6.00 higher. This was a value added calf and yearling sale, so many more lots of weaned and vaccinated cattle were on offer than last week. Demand was good on a moderate to heavy supply.
