As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steer calves sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher, yearling steers 5.00 to 8.00 higher. Heifers of all weights steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Decidedly more optimistic feel around the barn this week with stronger prices for all weights, including some attractive groups of fall calves. The load lots of yearling steers were met with particularly good demand, even as so many questions linger in regards to pen space, processing speed and beef demand. Supply moderate and demand good.
