Compared to last week: The best test was on heifers, 850-900lbs, unevenly steady; 900-1000lbs, 7.00-8.00 higher; 1000-1100, 15.00 higher. Smaller offering today of mostly tested open or spayed heifers, sold on good demand. Market activity was more moderate with fewer buyers in the seats. Despite drought conditions continuing, most of the offering looked good, with light to moderate flesh. Over 1500 spring calves already consigned for next week's Early Spring Calf Yearling Special.
