Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers mostly sold 4.00 to 15.00 lower, although the 8- and 9 weight steers were not well compared. Heifers sold sharply lower today. Demand was good today and included internet bidding. Supply was moderate to heavy and comprised mainly of several yearling load lots and one consignor who brought more than 300 head.
