As filed

Compared to last sale; There were not any comparable numbers from last week on any classes of steers or heifers, calves or yearling feeders but a higher market was evident. Trade was very good with good demand on larger numbers. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 5.00 higher. Market was very good with excellent buyer attendance..
