Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly 2.00 to 12.00 lower, although 310 nine-weight steers were not well compared to the last sale. Heifers prices were mixed with heifers under 500 lbs. sold sharply lower and heifers heavier than 500 lbs. were mostly 15.00 to 18.00 higher. Demand was very good today and included active internet bidding. Supply was heavy and included several load lots of eight- and nine-weight steers. Three consignors brought nearly 600 head.
