Compared to last week steers less than 800 lbs sold 5.00 to 8.00 higher and over 800 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifers less than 850 lbs sold unevenly steady, over 850 lbs sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Demand was good with some internet buying. Several load lots on hand Thursday with the normal run of packages. Bulk of the cattle coming out of grow yards and sold in medium flesh and a few carried some tag (mud).
