Compared to the last well tested market three weeks ago, steers under 700lbs traded mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher with spots up to 12.00 higher on 5 weight steers. Steers over 700lbs traded steady. Heifers traded steady to 4.00 higher with some light 3 weight heifers up to 9.00 higher. Overall quality was above average this week with several large packages of long-time weaned calves. Supply was heavy and demand was very good.
