Compared to last week, steers under 700lbs sold mostly 15.00 to 25.00 higher, and yearling steers over 700lbs showed gains of 15.00 to 20.00 higher. Heifers were mostly 15.00 to 30.00 higher. Demand was very good on an active market, with prices that gained back all of last week's losses and then some. Supply was moderate to light.
