Compared to two weeks ago, steers under 750 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher, 750 lbs sold 1.00 higher and over 800 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Heifers under 700 lbs sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Buyers bid readily from start to finish on packages and loads of cattle throughout the day. When the grass greens up, several of Thursday's consignments will be turned out for summer grazing.
