As filed

Compared to the sale last week: steers 600-700 lbs were 5.00-9.00 higher, 750-950 mostly 1.00-5.00 lower. Heifers 450-650 lbs were mostly 5.00-10.00 higher with instances sharply higher especially in the 450-550 weight range. Heifers 700-800 lbs were mostly 2.00 higher, 850-900 lbs mostly steady today. Many load lots of both calves and yearlings in the offering today, along with plenty of smaller strings. Demand good throughout the sale, especially on load lots and light calves.
