Compared to last week steers sold steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers under 650 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher and over 650 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand was good from start to finish. Bulk of the sale comprised of longtime weaned calves and feeder cattle with complete vaccination programs. Receipts a tick lighter than estimates as some producers could not get cattle off the place due to poor county roads. Next Wednesday will be a calf and feeder auction expecting 3500 to 4000 head.
