Compared to last week: A lower under tone was noted on a light test of light steers up to 700 lbs. Steers 700 lbs. and up were steady to 2.00 higher, except for 750-800 lbs. weight, they were 10.00 lower. Heifers up to 650 lbs. sold unevenly steady. Heifers 650-750 lbs. sold 6.00-9.00 higher , heifers over 750 lbs. sold 1.00-4.00 lower. Demand was good. A large amount of load lots in todays offering.
