As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 5.00 higher with some spotty trade on 5 wt cattle. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Big run this week after an extended break due to a stretch of severe winter weather. Buyers were ready to get back to business and had some good quality stock to worth with all day. Supply heavy, demand moderate to good.
