Compared to last week Steers under 600 lbs. were 1.00-6.00 lower, while the 600-700 lb Steers were 2.00-5.00 higher. Steers over 700 pounds sold steady. Heifers under 550 lbs. were 6.00-8.00 higher and those over 550 lbs were mostly steady. Unweaned feeders sold at a discount. Demand was good and trade was active for the moderate offerings.
