As filed

Compared to last week the only weight for comparison were steers 550 to 600 lbs. which were up 30.00 higher. Other weights of steers and heifers below 600 lbs. were much higher this week due the larger numbers of spring calves coming to market. Heifers above 600 lbs. were lower this week. Good buyer demand for todays offering especially the lighter weight steers and heifers. Flesh condition was light to medium on todays offering.
