As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 8.00 to 18.00 higher with spots up to 27.00 higher. Heifers under 550lbs were 7.00 to 15.00 higher and heavier weights sold with a steady undertone. Many more unweaned calves on offer this week, but overall a higher quality offering of calves weaned or unweaned, along with some attractive small groups of yearlings. Demand was very good on a moderate supply.
