As filed

Compared to two weeks ago; steers and heifers traded 8.00 to 12.00 higher with a few instances 15.00 higher on thin fleshed grass type cattle. A very active market on all classes of cattle today with several new buyers in the seats and also a active internet. Several long strings today with drought still throughout region forcing many ranchers to sell due to lack of grass. Sale again in two weeks.
