Compared to last week, based on a limited test, steers under 600lbs sold with a lower undertone, and steers over 600lbs sold mostly 3.00 to 8.00 lower. Heifers were mostly 5.00 to 12.00 lower. Quality was much less attractive than last week, with many unweaned or short weaned calves and bulls that had not yet been steered out. Demand was moderate on a moderate to light supply.
