Compared to last week: There were not enough steer calves in last weeks sale to develop a market trend. And a market trend has yet to develop on heifers under 800 lbs. Heifers over 800 lbs were 3.00 - 5.00 lower. The sale included a very nice offering of spayed and open heifers, with several load lots and large packages. Demand was moderate, with minimal order buyers in the seats.
