As filed

Compared to last week; Not enough yearling steers for weight comparison. Heifers 600-650lbs 3.50 lower, 800-850lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Several long strings of heifers available in today's offering. Good buyer demand on full loads of heifers, mostly right off grass. Flesh condition light to moderate.
