As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady with a few spots 5.00 higher on 750-800 lb steers to spots 5.00 lower off of last week's highs. Demand was good on an active market for grazing cattle and yearlings saw increased demand as well with a few new buyers in the seats. Cattle futures have seen vast improvement this week with large gains each day so far giving some confidence to the market. Also, grass is here which has helped things along. Slaughter cows sold 7.00-10.00 lower.
