As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers 700-1000 lbs sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher and heifers over 700 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher. Demand was good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. Around 600 head of spring calves also sold in the mix with most consignments having received at least one set of fall vaccinations and a few packages were weaned at least 45 days.
