As filed

Compared with two weeks ago, steers 550 to 750 lbs traded 2.00 to as much as 20.00 higher. A limited number of comparable offerings for heifers with 650 lbs trading 3.00 higher. Demand was very good today with several buyers and active internet bidding. Warmer weather in the area melting snow and ice making pen conditions slick and muddy.
