The supply was light to moderate. After several consecutive days in the red, the futures boards traded on the positive side, giving buyers some renewed optimism. The sale opened sharply lower and finished with many of the top prices given later in the sale. The weighted average price for steers this week was 153.88, while the heifer weighted average came in at 138.67.
