As filed

Compared with two weeks ago 450 to 650 lbs steers traded 5.00 to 19.00 higher, with a limited number of comparable lots for heifers, 500 lbs offerings trading 7.00 higher. Demand was very good with repeat buyers on select offerings from the Sandhills and active bidding from out of state buyers and the internet.
