As filed

Compared to last week, based on limited comparisons, steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 15.00 higher. This was a value added calf and yearling special sale, and quality ran high throughout the day with many consignments of long weaned and vaccinated calves and yearlings. Despite hot temperatures outside, demand was very good on a heavy supply.
