As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. 5.00-12.00 higher, a few 300-400 lbs. 15.00-20.00 higher. Feeders over 600 lbs. 6.00-12.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-5.00 higher, instances 9.00-10.00 higher on gaunt, lean cows. Bulls 1.00 higher. Trade very active, demand very good. Substantial rain over the area accounting for the increase in calf and feeder prices and bred cows and pairs saw a substantial increase also as producers try to restock on green and growing pasture. Slaughter cows in good demand following near two weeks of limited auctions.
