Compared to last week, no recent price comparison on steers under 500 lbs. Light 5-weight steers 3.00 higher on limited comparison, while steers 550 to 750 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower. Steers over 750 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifers sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher with instances 10.00 higher some 6 and 7-weight heifers. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher while bulls sold steady. Good demand with moderate supply.
