Compared to last week, steers under 600lbs sold mostly steady, 600lb to 750lb steers sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher on multiple groups of attractive quality yearlings, and steers over 750lbs were not well tested. Heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 8.00 higher. Demand was good for the majority of the offering, even with the futures board trending down for the day, and supply was moderate.
