As filed

Compared to last sale, steer calves 400-600 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher with weaned 350-400 lbs being 20.00 -25.00 higher. Feeder steers and feeder heifers had insufficient numbers to compare but higher market was evident. Heifer calves sold uneven. Trade and demand were good on small numbers. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold steady to 5.00 lower. Excellent buyer attendance.
