Compared to the most recent market coverage 2 weeks ago (Feb 6) steers 550-750 lbs. sold $2.50-12.00 higher and the 750-900 lb. steers were $3.00-5.00 lower. Heifers under 650 lbs sold generally steady, while the heavier heifers ended mixed. Demand was good with active trading on the heavy offerings.
