As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold firm to 2.00 higher with no price comparison available for yearling cattle. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Lots of life in the yearling market here this week for the first real test in quite some time, with four loads of heavy cattle pushed to some pretty lofty prices. Weaned grass type cattle are still finding plenty of outlets as well. Supply heavy and demand good.
