Sale consisted of a few lot loads, mostly loads made up of packages. A few yearlings steers, mostly made up of bawling heifers and steers. Precondition shots with some with just spring shots. Prices on the mixed side, with some weights on the higher side while lower on others compared to a week ago. Demand moderate to good.
