As filed

Compared to last week 700 to 800 lb steers sold mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher and 800 to 950 sold mostly 3.00 to 6.00 higher while the large 1000 lb steers sold mostly 2.00 lower. The heifers there were not enough for a good test, however the 700 to 850 lb heifers sold mostly 4.00 to 5.00 higher. The cattle today were predominantly "off grass" . The offering was moderate to heavy and the demand was good.
