Compared to the sale last week: Upward trend today. Light steers, 550-700 lbs, were 5.00-8.00 higher. Steers 750-800 lbs 1.00-3.00 higher. Light heifers, 600-700 lbs, 9.00 to sharply higher. Heifers, 750 lbs, 4.00 higher. The sale consisted of mostly packages of light cattle with several light loads of yearlings. Big crowd today. Good demand from the arena and online, especially on larger consignments.
