As filed

Compared to last week, the best test of 550lb to 750lb steers sold mostly 10.00 to 25.00 higher, and other weights had few to compare to. Heifers were mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher, also based on limited comparisons from last week's light run. Today's sale was a wean-vac special and customer appreciation day at Springfield Livestock and there were many nice consignments of calves and yearlings on offer including 5 straight loads of 850lb-950lb steers. Demand was good with many bidders and buyers gathering the value added lots while they were available.
