As filed

Compared to last week steers under 600 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower and steers over 600 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher, all weights of heifers sold steady to 8.00 higher. The consignment sheet consisted of yearling feeders, weaned spring calves and spring calves coming off their mothers most of which had received fall vaccinations. Demand was good from the buyers in the crowd with internet bidding noticed.
