As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 550 lbs and under sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher, heavier weights sold steady to 7.00 higher. Supply was light to moderate with very good demand. Slaughter cattle sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. There was a good offering of fancy replacement bred cows in the afternoon cow sale.
