As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher with several weights of steers trading sharply higher. Slaughter cows 4.00 to 9.00 higher. Very few yearlings on offer but several strings of reputation calves found plenty of outlets to new homes. Supply moderate, demand very good.
