Compared to the sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly steady to 13.00 lower. Heifers under 600 lbs. sold sharply higher, while those heavier sold with a lower undertone on a light test two weeks ago. Demand was very good today. Supply was heavy and included several load lots of yearling cattle coming off the grass.
