As filed

Compared to last week steers sold steady to 15.00 higher and heifers sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Demand was very good from the larger than normal number of buyers in the crowd along with the internet activity. The majority of the consignment sheet consisted of home raised long time weaned steers and heifers the bulk of which sold in load lots with weighing condition in the buyers favor. Upward swing in Saturday's market could be due to the bullish cattle on feed report Friday and area feedlots sold finished steers and heifers at record prices. Live sales ranged from 210.00 to 212.00 and dressed sales 328.00 to 330.00.
