Compared to two weeks ago steers under 750 lbs sold 10.00 to 13.00 higher, over 750 lbs sold 2.00 higher. Heifers under 600 lbs sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher with weights over 600 trading sharply higher. Demand was good today. Large crowd of buyers with internet participation noticed. Calves were longtime weaned with vaccinations with most selling in part loads and packages throughout the sale. Spring like weather the last few days with rain showers has made country roads soft but pre-sale consignments made there way to town.
