As filed

Compared to last week steers over 500 lbs sold steady to 7.00 lower and heifers 550-750 lbs sold steady to 4.00 lower with heifers 750-800 lbs selling 10.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the seats. The consignment sheet consisted of longtime weaned steers and heifers which was shorter than expected due to a winter storm that moved through much of the trade area.
