As filed

Compared to two weeks ago steers 900-950 lbs sold fully steady. Most offerings sold in load lots coming off the grass and some coming out of the grow yards with smaller packages also selling in the mix. Not enough heifer offerings from two weeks ago to establish a trend. Demand was good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed.
