Compared to last Tuesday at the same market, Steers under 600 lbs 1.00-4.00 higher, over 600 lbs 1.00-4.00 lower. Heifers under 700 lbs 1.00-8.00 lower, over 700 lbs to lightly tested for an accurate market trend. Trade was active on cattle suitable to go to growing yards, slow on yearlings. Demand good with excellent buyer atteandance both in the stands and on the internet.
