Compared to last week, steers under 600lbs sold with a weaker undertone, and steers over 600lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower. Heifers had few comparisons but sold with a steady to weaker undertone. Quality was mostly average or below this week, especially compared to the past few impressive sales that kicked off the new year. Demand was moderate to light on a light supply.
