A few lot loads with rest packages of heifers and steers. Some coming off dry short grass. With heifers being preg. checked open plus a few spayed, and a few weaned fall calves. Prices on the mixed side prices higher on some weights while lower on others from three weeks ago. Demand moderate to good.
