Compared to last week, steers under 650lbs traded 2.00 to 4.00 higher with spots up to 8.00 higher. Steers over 650lbs traded steady to weaker with few to compare to last week. Feeder heifers sold unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 4.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate to heavy supply with many larger groups of weaned yearlings in the offering.
