As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers under 600 lbs sold on a sharply higher market, heavier weights 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifers mostly 4.00 to 8.00 higher with a few spots as much as 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows 10.00 to 12.00 higher. "Sharply higher" really doesn't do justice for this week's grazing market as buyers showed no hesitation pushing prices to some levels we haven't seen in recent memory. Several heavy hitters showed up on a mission to own some stock of all weights but particularly grass type with a proven health history. Heifers didn't see quite the sharp upturn their steer mates did but still had some solid gains and some pretty impressive spots, including some replacements bought for just a hair over 1200.00/head. Supply heavy, demand very good.
