As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. There was a nice offering of yearlings on hand that sold with very good demand alongside some new crop calves that sold with good demand. Supply was moderate. Quite a bit of fertilizer has been going on hay fields and pastures this week. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher.
