Compared to last week steers sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher with the exception of 750 to 800 lb steers selling 2.00 lower. Heifers under 600 lbs there was a limited test but a higher undertone was noted, 600 to 700 lb heifers sold 4.00 to 5.00 lower and 700 to 950 lb heifers sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher. The supply was light to moderate and the demand was moderate.
