As filed

Compared to three weeks ago, most weights of steers sold 15.00 higher and heifers sold 15.00 to 20.00 higher. Demand was good with from a large crowd of order and farmer feeder buyers. Most of the calves and yearlings came out of backgrounding lots with some grazing on cover crops. Flesh on the cattle was mostly medium with a few fleshy feeders in the run. Buk of the run sold in small packages with a few load lots of yearlings.
