As filed

Compared to last sale; Steer calves sold lower except for 450-500 lbs being 25.00 higher. Weaned calves brought a premium. Feeder steers and heifers had no comparable numbers but a higher trend was felt throughout. Heifer calves 300-400 lbs sold higher and 450-600 lbs sold lower. Trade and demand were moderate on larger numbers. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 8.00 higher. Excellent buyer attendance.
