Compared to last week, steers under 700lbs were 2.00 to 10.00 higher with spots up to 15.00 higher, heavier weights were not well tested. Heifers sold steady to 6.00 higher with spots up to 12.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. The market was active with many bidders and buyers present and ready to fill orders after a couple weeks of helpful rains to improve pasture conditions in the area.
