As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 700lbs sold mostly 6.00 to 12.00 higher with spots up to 20.00 higher, and steers and heifers over 700lbs sold with a firm undertone based on limited comparisons. This week's offering included some high quality groups of weaned and vaccinated calves and yearlings that created very good demand on a moderate supply.
