As filed

Compared to last week, the steers under 600 lbs. sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher with spots up to 20.00 higher. The heavier weight steers had too few comparisons but sold with sharply higher undertones. The heifers also sold with sharply higher undertones, compared to the light test from last week. The quality was more attractive as this was a special yearling sale and there were 8 full loads on offer. The supply was heavy with very good demand.
