A really nice run of cattle today. Steer calves 600 to 800 lbs sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher and steers over 800 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower. Heifers 500 to 700 lbs sold mostly 3.00 higher and heifers over 700 lbs sold 2.00 to 6.00 lower. the receipts were moderate to heavy and the demand was good. Buyers were trying to finish filling up their grass cattle.
