Compared to two weeks ago steers under 700 lbs. sold 4.00-5.00 higher, while the heavier steers ended 2.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Heifers 500-650 lbs. were steady to 3.50 higher. The 650-750 lb. heifers were 2.50 lower to 2.50 higher. Those over 750 lbs. did not have enough numbers for comparison. Supply included several load lots. Demand was good for the moderate offerings. Trading was active.
