As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers over 700 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher except 750 lbs steers sold 10.00 higher. Heifers from 550 to 700 lbs sold 8.00 higher, over 700 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand was moderate at the start of the sale with good demand by mid day after the CME cattle boards shot upward and closed the day substantially higher. Some of the top prices of the day came at the end of the sale as buyers battled to fill trucks with adequate weight. Wide variety of cattle on hand for the first week of May sale. Offerings comprised of light weight calves and middle and heavy weight feeders with some top quality replacement heifers in the run. Next week, bred cows and pair special. May 20th will be a special calf and feeder sale.
