As filed

Compared to a light run two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. This week's offering included several loads of backgrounded yearlings as well as some strings of new crops as the fall calf run seems to finally be getting underway. A large percentage of the calves were right off the cow but for the most part, reputation was enough to overcome the unweaned status. Supply moderate, demand good.
