Compared to last week steers less than 550 lbs sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher, 550 to 650 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher, over 650 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher. Heifers less than 550 lbs sold sharply higher on the day with several weights up to 20.00 higher, over 550 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Bulk of the sale sold in small packages with a few load lots on the day. Longtime weaned and vaccinated steers and heifers in the run. Buyers bid readily, especially, since the next sale here in West Point will be in two weeks and they were wanting to back fill empty pens locally.
