As filed

Compared to two weeks ago most weights of steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was good from start to finish. Nice early summer run of calves, feeder cattle, bred cows, pairs and slaughter cattle. Quite a few of the slaughter cows went back to the country. Next sale will be June 17th.
