Compared to a week ago steer cattle over 750 lbs sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher. There were not enough heifers this week for a good test. Most of the cattle today seemed to be un-weaned. Being un-weaned or short weaned did not seem to affect the prices as long as they had shots. The receipts were moderate with good demand.
